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 712.7, while B.A. (Hons.) Economics was lowest at 677.8. 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 34.9 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 Zakir Husain Delhi 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?

Zakir Husain offers B.Com. (Hons.), B.Com. and Economics. Its central-city location and broad academic history distinguish it from campus-cluster colleges, but the preference decision should still begin with the exact programme.

Beyond academics, Zakir Husain Delhi College maintains a vibrant campus environment. Students actively participate in numerous clubs and societies, including robust cultural committees, debating societies, and a dedicated Placement Cell, which organise various events that facilitate career awareness and personality development.

Who should place Zakir Husain Delhi College high in the preference list?

Prioritise Zakir Husain when the programme fits and central Delhi connectivity is useful. Compare its B.Com. and Economics scores with the same courses at SGND Khalsa, Keshav and other nearby-score options.

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

Zakir Husain Delhi College was placed in the NIRF 2025 College rank band 101-150. Institutions within a band are listed alphabetically and should not be assigned an invented exact rank.

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: Zakir Husain Delhi College currently does not provide on-campus hostel housing; outstation students typically secure private PG accommodations nearby);
• 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.

Frequently asked questions

What was the highest 2026 Round 1 UR score at Zakir Husain Delhi College?

Among the directly listed programmes in this guide, B.Com. (Hons.) had the highest UR minimum allocation score at 712.7.

Which programmes are covered for Zakir Husain Delhi College?

This page covers B.Com. (Hons.), B.Com. and B.A. (Hons.) Economics.

How should Zakir Husain Delhi College be placed in a preference list?

Why are placement packages and annual fees not quoted here?

They are intentionally omitted unless a current, primary, year-specific source defines the figure and its scope. College-wide placement numbers are often wrongly presented as course-specific, while fee schedules can change by programme and academic year.

Where should I verify eligibility before accepting a seat?

Use the University of Delhi 2026-27 admission bulletin and CSAS portal, then check the college’s own admissions or prospectus page for document, fee and reporting instructions.
