To secure admission at Lady Shri Ram (LSR) College through DU CSAS 2026, General category students need a combined CUET composite score of 765 or above (out of 800) for most programmes; top courses like B.A. (Hons) Economics and B.A. (Hons) Psychology require 785 or higher based on 2024 DU CSAS closing score trends.
Lady Shri Ram College is one of Delhi University’s most sought-after women’s colleges. Admission to all undergraduate programmes at LSR is based solely on CUET UG scores through DU CSAS.

How CUET Score Works for DU LSR Admission
DU CSAS does not use a single subject score. Here is how the composite score is calculated:
- Each CUET UG subject paper carries a maximum of 200 marks (40 questions attempted, +5 per correct, -1 per wrong).
- DU CSAS adds the best 4 CUET subject scores; maximum composite = 800 marks.
- You list LSR and your preferred programme in the CSAS portal; allocation uses this composite score along with your preference order and category.
- Cutoffs are published round-wise; top LSR programmes typically exhaust seats in Round 1 or Round 2.
Always compare your best-4 composite score against the course cutoff, not any single subject score.
