Kirori Mal College Cut-off 2026: DU Commerce Course Scores

KMC CUET Cutoff 2026: Round 1 Scores

Kirori Mal College recorded a 2026 DU CSAS Round 1 UR minimum allocation score of 903.7 for B.Com. (Hons.), the highest among the directly listed programmes covered on this page. The lowest directly listed score was 836.6 for B.A. (Hons.) Economics.

A minimum allocation score is not a pre-announced or guaranteed cut-off. It is the lowest score at which a seat was allocated in that round for the relevant programme and category, subject to eligibility, preference order, seat availability, tie-breaking and completion of admission formalities.

KMC at a glance

2026 Round 1 minimum allocation scores

Scope: These are UR-category scores rounded to one decimal. Exact BA Programme subject combinations are not collapsed into generic labels because DU publishes a separate score for each combination.

Category note: UR is used as the consistent comparison basis across these 30 pages. OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, minority and supernumerary allocation scores can differ materially. A blank category cell in the DU source is not a zero; use the exact programme-category row before drawing conclusions.

What the scores mean for applicants

The directly listed options span 3 programmes. In Round 1, B.Com. (Hons.) had the highest UR minimum allocation score at 903.7, while B.A. (Hons.) Economics was lowest at 836.6. This ordering is descriptive, not a statement that one curriculum is inherently better: the programmes can use different eligibility and CUET merit combinations.

The within-college spread is 67.1 points. That number is useful for describing the Round 1 pattern, but it should not be used to infer that admission to one programme is “easier” without checking its eligibility formula, applicant pool and available seats.

How competitive was KMC within this 30-college set?

The table compares only the same programme across the 30 college pages in this package. It is not a quality ranking and does not predict future rounds.

Programme choice: what is distinctive here?

KMC offers three directly comparable commerce-adjacent routes in this dataset: B.Com. (Hons.), B.Com. and Economics. That makes it one of the more flexible North Campus choices for applicants deciding between an honours commerce degree, the B.Com. programme and Economics.

Its course mix gives commerce applicants an internal alternative that SRCC, Hindu and Hansraj do not offer: B.Com. Programme alongside B.Com. (Hons.).

Beyond academics, Kirori Mal College has a thriving extracurricular culture. Students can join active student clubs and societies such as The Players (legendary Dramatics society), Musoc (Music), and Sensation (Dance) which host national-level fests, academic symposiums, and networking events, contributing significantly to skill building and career readiness.

Who should place KMC high in the preference list?

KMC deserves a high preference when you want North Campus but also want course flexibility. Decide in advance whether B.Com. Programme at KMC should sit above B.Com. (Hons.) at another college; the answer depends on course priority, not just college reputation.

A robust preference list normally contains:

1. ambitious college-programme combinations you would genuinely accept;
2. realistic same-programme alternatives near your simulated rank or recent allocation score;
3. safer options that still meet your course, location and eligibility requirements.

Do not place a course you do not want above a preferred course merely to obtain a more recognisable college name. Under CSAS, the order represents your actual preference.

Eligibility checkpoints before you add these programmes

• For B.Com. (Hons.), verify the exact 2026 CUET merit combination in the DU Bulletin, including the permitted Mathematics/Applied Mathematics or Accountancy/Book Keeping route and the required language/domain subjects.
• For B.Com., confirm the permitted language, domain-subject and General Aptitude/Test combination for 2026; do not assume it is identical to B.Com. (Hons.).
• For B.A. (Hons.) Economics, Mathematics/Applied Mathematics eligibility is a critical checkpoint. Confirm both Class XII subject mapping and the CUET papers used in the merit score.

DU’s 2026 admission process is based on CUET-UG and CSAS. Applicants must verify the current Bulletin of Information rather than relying on older blog posts, coaching-site formulas or previous-year subject combinations.

NIRF and institutional context

Kirori Mal College was ranked 4 in the NIRF 2025 College category.

NIRF can provide institutional context, but it does not rank individual undergraduate programmes and should not replace course-level research. For this decision, the programme curriculum, eligibility, location, fees, accommodation requirements and personal career plans are more directly relevant.

Fees, hostel and placements: how to verify safely

This guide does not reproduce approximate fees, hostel capacities, average packages or recruiter lists unless they are supported by a current primary document. Before accepting a seat:

• use the college’s current prospectus or fee notice for the exact programme and academic year;
• check whether hostel accommodation exists for your gender/category and review the current allocation policy (Note: KMC provides on-campus hostels for boys and girls, featuring separate blocks and well-maintained dining halls, though seats are highly limited and typically allocated based on CUET merit and distance);
• treat placement reports as college-wide unless the report explicitly provides programme-level data;
• distinguish average CTC, median CTC, highest CTC, offers and number of students placed.
