Ques. What is the difference between BA (Hons.) Political Science and BA Programme (Political Science combinations)?

Ans. BA (Hons.) Political Science offers specialization in Political Science, whereas BA Programme combines Political Science with another subject such as Psychology, Sociology, Mathematics, or Music, providing an interdisciplinary curriculum.

Ques. Has the DU MA Political Science Cutoff 2026 been released?

Ans. Yes. The DU MA Political Science Cutoff 2026 has been released for all three CSAS PG admission rounds. The cutoffs are published separately for Category 1 (DU graduates) and Category 2 (graduates from other universities).

Ques. Which campus has the highest cutoffs for BA (Hons.) Political Science?

Ans. North Campus colleges consistently record the highest cutoffs, with Hindu College, Miranda House, Kirori Mal College, and Ramjas College remaining among the most preferred choices.

Ques. Is the DU BA (Hons.) Political Science Cutoff 2026 based on Class 12 marks or the CUET score?

Ans. The DU BA (Hons.) Political Science Cutoff 2026 is based on the CUET UG 2026 normalised score, not on Class 12 marks. Delhi University prepares a programme-specific merit score using the required CUET subjects as specified in the UG Bulletin of Information. While candidates must satisfy the Class 12 eligibility criteria, seat allotment under the CSAS UG admission process is determined entirely by the CUET merit score.

Ques. Is BA (Hons.) Political Science one of the highest cutoff courses at DU?

Ans. Yes. BA (Hons.) Political Science is one of the most competitive undergraduate programmes offered by Delhi University. Every year, top colleges such as Hindu College, Miranda House, Lady Shri Ram College, Kirori Mal College, and Ramjas College record very high cutoffs. In 2026, Hindu College closed at 958.7147 (UR) in the first round, highlighting the intense competition for the programme.

Ques. Can I get admission if my CUET score is below the Round 1 cutoff?

Ans. Yes. Candidates who miss the first-round cutoff still have a chance of admission in subsequent CSAS rounds. As students upgrade, withdraw, or cancel their allotted seats, vacancies arise and the cutoffs generally decline in Round 2, Round 3, and Spot/Mop-up rounds. Filling a wide range of college and programme preferences improves your chances of securing a seat.

Ques. Is it compulsory to fill college and programme preferences in CSAS?

Ans. Yes. Registering for CSAS alone is not sufficient. During CSAS Phase II, candidates must submit their college and programme preferences in the desired order. Delhi University considers only the submitted preferences while allocating seats. Candidates who do not fill their preferences will not be considered for seat allotment.

Ques. Which DU colleges are good options for BA (Hons.) Political Science in the Spot or Mop-up rounds?

Ans. The Spot and Mop-up rounds generally witness lower cutoffs due to vacant seats created after seat upgrades and withdrawals. Candidates with moderate CUET scores may have better admission chances in colleges such as Dyal Singh College, Aryabhatta College, Delhi College of Arts and Commerce (DCAC), Bhagini Nivedita College, and Maitreyi College (for women). Admission to highly competitive colleges like Hindu College, Miranda House, Lady Shri Ram College, Kirori Mal College, Ramjas College, and Sri Venkateswara College in the Spot or Mop-up rounds is subject to seat availability and is comparatively rare.
