The expected CUET 2026 cutoff for Lady Shri Ram College (LSR) ranges from approximately 585 to 945 on the CSAS composite merit scale — with B.A. (Hons.) Psychology and B.A. (Hons.) Political Science the most competitive programmes, and B.A. (Hons.) Hindi the most accessible.
LSR is one of Delhi University’s most sought-after women’s colleges. All undergraduate admissions are driven by CUET UG scores processed through the CSAS (Common Seat Allocation System) portal. DU calculates a composite merit score from the best qualifying CUET papers — each subject paper carries a maximum of 200 marks — and releases seat allocations through multiple CSAS rounds. The figures below are expected ranges based on CUET 2025 CSAS closing data and will be updated once official 2026 round results are published.
- Each CUET UG subject paper carries 200 marks. DU CSAS combines the best qualifying CUET papers to derive the composite merit score used for cutoffs — it is not a single subject score out of 200.
- Psychology, Political Science, and Economics are expected to carry the highest CSAS composite cutoffs at LSR in 2026.
- In 2025, Psychology closed at 926.53 and Political Science at 915.70 for the General category at LSR.
- DU does not publish cutoff lists publicly. Students must check their personal CSAS portal dashboard for seat allocation status.
- CUET 2026 results and CSAS allocation rounds are expected around July–August 2026.

CUET 2026 LSR Cutoff Overview
Lady Shri Ram College for Women is a constituent college of Delhi University and one of the most competitive institutions in India for undergraduate studies in arts, commerce, and science. Admissions are entirely based on CUET UG scores. Delhi University calculates a CSAS composite merit score using a student’s best qualifying CUET papers and fills seats through multiple CSAS allocation rounds.
Each CUET subject paper carries a maximum of 200 marks (40 questions attempted, 5 marks each). The CSAS composite is built from the best applicable papers, so the effective scale is several hundred marks. NTA normalization across exam shifts means that composite scores can exceed a simple raw-mark sum in some cases. The table below gives a snapshot of key admission parameters for 2026.

CUET 2026 LSR Expected Cutoff by Course — General Category
The expected figures below are based on CUET 2025 CSAS closing scores and prior-year trends. All values are projected CSAS composite merit scores for 2026 and will be revised once official data is available. Scores above 900 reflect approximately 99+ percentile performance in CUET.
| Course | Expected CUET 2026 Cutoff — General | 2025 Reference Score |
|---|---|---|
| B.A. (Hons.) Psychology | 930–945 | 926.53 |
| B.A. (Hons.) Political Science | 915–935 | 915.70 |
| B.A. (Hons.) Economics | 880–925 | ~874 |
| B.Com (Hons.) | 875–910 | Based on 2025 trends |
| B.A. (Hons.) English | 860–890 | 856.58 |
| B.A. (Hons.) Sociology | 830–865 | Based on 2025 trends |
| B.A. (Hons.) History | 790–835 | Based on 2025 trends |
| B.A. (Hons.) Philosophy | 730–780 | Based on 2025 trends |
| B.Sc. (Hons.) Statistics | 715–745 | ~715 |
| B.Sc. (Hons.) Mathematics | 665–700 | ~665 |
| B.A. (Hons.) Hindi | 585–615 | 579.05 |
Note: B.Sc. programmes require CUET Mathematics and science-stream papers. The smaller pool of students appearing in these papers results in a lower composite cutoff compared to high-demand arts and commerce programmes, even though the course itself is demanding.

Factors Affecting CUET 2026 LSR Cutoff
Several variables determine where the final CSAS closing score settles for each LSR programme in 2026:
- Total CUET 2026 high scorers — a larger pool of students scoring above 180 per paper raises the composite threshold across all DU colleges including LSR.
- Paper difficulty and NTA normalization — an easier exam produces more top scorers; normalization across shifts can push composite scores slightly above raw totals.
- Seat availability at LSR — any change in programme intake directly affects how quickly seats are filled and where the composite cutoff settles.
- Number of CSAS allocation rounds — the final-round closing score is the official cutoff. Earlier rounds are typically higher; scores ease slightly in later rounds as unfilled seats open up.
- Programme preference ordering by students — courses ranked higher on more CSAS dashboards fill faster and carry higher effective closing scores.
- Category composition of the applicant pool — shifts in how many students fall under each category (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS) affect category-wise closing scores independently of the overall trend.
CUET 2026 LSR Cutoff FAQs
Ques. What is the expected CUET 2026 cutoff for LSR Psychology?
Ans. Based on the 2025 CSAS closing score of 926.53 for the General category, the expected CUET 2026 cutoff for B.A. (Hons.) Psychology at LSR is approximately 930–945 on the CSAS composite merit scale.
Ques. What is a CSAS composite merit score, and how is it different from a single CUET paper score?
Ans. The CSAS composite merit score is calculated by Delhi University using the best qualifying CUET papers a student has appeared in. Each CUET subject paper carries a maximum of 200 marks. DU combines these best applicable scores — typically including a language paper and relevant domain papers — to derive the composite used for seat allocation. It is not a single subject score out of 200.
Ques. Does LSR publish its CUET cutoff list publicly?
Ans. No. Delhi University does not release college-wise cutoff lists publicly under the CSAS process. Students can only check their seat allocation status by logging into their personal CSAS dashboard on the official DU admission portal.
Ques. Which course has the highest CUET cutoff at LSR?
Ans. B.A. (Hons.) Psychology has consistently carried the highest CUET CSAS composite cutoff at LSR. In 2025, the General category closing score was 926.53. B.A. (Hons.) Political Science (915.70) and B.A. (Hons.) Economics (~874) are close behind.
Ques. Why is the B.Sc. Mathematics cutoff at LSR lower than arts courses?
Ans. Fewer students appear for the CUET Mathematics domain paper compared to popular arts papers like Psychology or Political Science. With a smaller applicant pool competing for B.Sc. seats, the CSAS closing composite is naturally lower — even though the programme itself is academically rigorous.
Ques. When will the official CUET 2026 LSR cutoff be available?
Ans. The official cutoff is set through CSAS allocation rounds, which begin after the CUET 2026 result is declared — expected around July–August 2026. Students can track their allocation status by logging into their CSAS dashboard at cuet.nta.nic.in.
