Frequently Asked Questions

Ques: Is a CUET score of 910 sufficient for BA (Hons.) Psychology at LSR in the General category?

Ans: A score of 910 fell short of LSR's Round 1 UR cutoff of 926.53 in 2025. Candidates at this score are better placed targeting Jesus and Mary College (886.44 UR) or Daulat Ram College (874.16 UR) as primary preferences, while retaining LSR for subsequent rounds where a 3–5 point drop is historically observed.

Ques: Are there co-ed colleges offering BA (Hons.) Psychology at Delhi University?

Ans: Among the listed colleges, Aryabhatta College is the only co-educational option. Most other colleges offering BA (Hons.) Psychology, such as LSR, Miranda House, Gargi, Daulat Ram, and Maitreyi, are women’s colleges.

Ques: What is the difference between BA (Hons.) Psychology and BA Programme with Psychology at DU?

Ans: BA (Hons.) Psychology is a dedicated single-subject honours programme with cutoffs ranging from 766 to 926 UR in 2025. The BA Programme with Psychology as a combination subject has significantly lower cutoffs (typically 650–780 range) but offers narrower post-graduation prospects compared to Hons., particularly for MA admissions at institutions like JNU, TISS, and Delhi School of Social Work.

Ques: How many seats does LSR offer for BA (Hons.) Psychology and how it affects the cutoff?

Ans: LSR offers approximately 44 seats for BA (Hons.) Psychology under the General category after reservation adjustments. With thousands of candidates listing LSR as a top preference annually, the demand-to-seat ratio directly drives the 926+ cutoff, one of the highest for any single course-college combination across DU humanities.

Ques: If I score 850 in the CUET General category, which Psychology colleges at DU are realistic?

Ans: At 850 UR, Aryabhatta College (836.72 UR in 2025) and Gargi College (830.15 UR) are the most realistic Round 1 targets. Daulat Ram (874.16) and Jesus and Mary (886.44) would require waiting for Round 2 or Round 3, where drops of 10–20 marks have been observed historically.
