Maitreyi Cut-off 2026: DU Commerce Course Scores

Maitreyi College CUET Cutoff 2026: Round 1 Scores

Maitreyi College recorded a 2026 DU CSAS Round 1 UR minimum allocation score of 812.3 for B.Com. (Hons.), the highest among the directly listed programmes covered on this page. The lowest directly listed score was 748.4 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.

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 812.3, while B.A. (Hons.) Economics was lowest at 748.4. 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 63.9 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 Maitreyi College 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?

Maitreyi gives women applicants B.Com. (Hons.), B.Com. and Economics in the Chanakyapuri area. Its course mix makes it a direct alternative to Gargi, KNC, JMC and Daulat Ram, depending on programme and commute.

Maitreyi is a women-only college located in Chanakyapuri with Commerce, Economics, Humanities and Science offerings. This is a women-only college, so eligibility is restricted accordingly.

Beyond academics, Maitreyi has a thriving extracurricular culture. Students can join active student clubs and societies such as Zeal (Dance), Artifex (Creative), and the Placement Cell which host national-level fests, academic symposiums, and networking events, contributing significantly to skill building and career readiness.

Who should place Maitreyi College high in the preference list?

Women applicants should consider Maitreyi when they want both honours and programme commerce options. Rank each programme separately and compare the same course across colleges.

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

Maitreyi College was ranked 38 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: Maitreyi does not have an on-campus hostel facility; outstation students typically rent PGs in nearby Satya Niketan or Moti Bagh);
• 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.
