Deshbandhu College admits students purely on CUET UG scores through the DU CSAS portal — there is no fixed percentage cutoff; instead, each of its 45 UG courses gets a round-wise opening and closing CUET score (on a scaled system, nominally out of 800) per category. This page tracks Deshbandhu College's full course-wise cutoff trend, anchored on the last fully confirmed cycle (2025), with the current 2026 status noted.
Quick facts
- Admission route: CUET UG, processed via DU CSAS — no separate entrance test.
- DU CSAS 2026 Round 1 seat allocation was released 16–17 July 2026; Round 2 follows 25 July 2026.
- Cutoffs are published course-wise and category-wise (UR/OBC-NCL/SC/ST/EWS/PwD) after every round — there is no single "college cutoff."
- Highest-closing 2025 course: B.Com (Hons.) at 785 (UR). Lowest: BA (Hons.) Sanskrit at 109 (UR).
- Most recent fully confirmed cycle: 2025. Exact 2026 course-and-category closing scores should be verified directly on the official CSAS portal — third-party figures for this cycle were inconsistent at the time of writing, with some pages recycling 2025 numbers under 2026 headlines.

How to Check the Official Deshbandhu College Cutoff
- Go to admission.uod.ac.in (DU CSAS UG portal).
- Log in with your CUET UG application number and password.
- Open the seat allocation result for the relevant round.
- Check whether Deshbandhu College and your preferred course appear in your allotment, or download the round's college-wise/course-wise cutoff PDF if published separately.
- Repeat after every round — closing scores shift as candidates float to higher preferences.
Factors Affecting the Cutoff
- Course popularity: B.Com (Hons.) and the Economics-combination BA Programme courses consistently close highest due to demand.
- Number of CSAS rounds: Cutoffs generally ease in later rounds as higher-scoring candidates move to other colleges.
- Category-wise reservation: OBC-NCL, SC, ST, and EWS lists are ranked separately, so their closing scores are lower than UR (General) for the same course.
- CUET paper difficulty and applicant volume: A larger or better-performing applicant pool tends to push closing scores up year-on-year.
Deshbandhu College Cutoff FAQs
