With CUET-UG 2025 results around the corner, Delhi University is gearing up for one of its most competitive admission seasons yet. Here’s a crisp guide to the upcoming CSAS (Common Seat Allocation System) cycle, expected cut-offs, and a few insider tips to stay ahead of the crowd.
1. Why the CUET Score Matters More Than Ever
-
Single Gateway: Class-12 marks no longer decide your fate; every college and course at DU now filters applicants exclusively through CUET percentiles.
-
High-stakes competition: Early counselling data suggest record registrations, so analysts predict cut-offs for popular honours programmes (think SRCC BCom Hons or LSR Psychology) could hover above the 99th percentile again this year.

4. Expected CUET-UG 2025 Cut-offs (Based on Last Year’s Trends)
| Programme | Campus buzz (General category) |
|---|---|

5. Documents You’ll Need on Admission Day
-
Class X certificate (DOB proof)

Category/Quota certificates (if applicable)

6. Something Interesting: “Green Credits” Could Give You an Edge
In line with its new sustainability push, DU is piloting a Green Credit system this year. Students who volunteer for campus tree-planting or solar-panel projects before the semester begins can earn micro-credits that appear on their co-curricular transcript—an initiative that may one day translate into bonus points for postgraduate admissions or scholarships.
Final Checklist for Aspirants
-
Track the portal daily once CUET results drop; CSAS windows move quickly.
-
Rank generously: list every plausible college-course combo—there’s no penalty for breadth.
-
Keep documents scanned and ready; colleges verify everything online within 24 hours.
-
Meet every deadline—even a two-hour delay in “seat acceptance” can forfeit your spot.
Stay sharp, stay organised, and you’ll navigate DU’s 2025-26 admissions like a pro. Good luck!
