Securing Hindu College UG admission is not a cakewalk. With some of the highest CUET cutoffs in DU and strong competition from lakhs of aspirants, here is a practical strategy to maximise your chances.
For popular Arts and Commerce courses, the General category requires 900+; for Political Science, nothing less than 940+ gives a confident shot. For B.Sc Statistics, target 840+; for Biology-based courses, 540–570+. Every mark counts at Hindu College.
For BA (Hons.) Economics, Mathematics is mandatory. For B.Com (Hons.), choose either the Mathematics or Accountancy route – merit is based on the best score from either combination. Pick whichever subject you are stronger in and prepare it thoroughly.
While admission is entirely based on CUET scores, a minimum of 50% in Class 12 is required to register on DU CSAS. Strong Boards (90%+) are important as a tiebreaker when two or more candidates have identical CUET scores.
Register the moment the portal goes live, place Hindu College at the top of your preference list for your target programme, and ensure all documents are ready in advance. Delays in CSAS registration can lead to missing key deadlines.
Given Hindu College’s extraordinary cutoffs, always include 8–10 backup college preferences alongside Hindu College. Miranda House, Hansraj, Ramjas, and Kirori Mal are strong alternatives depending on your stream.
Since 2022, CUET UG has been the sole entrance exam for all DU colleges including Hindu College. Here is the complete step-by-step Hindu College UG admission process for 2026.
