BRAC Admission Process
CUET UG and DU CSAS Process
All undergraduate admissions at BRAC are centralised through the University of Delhi’s Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS). Candidates must appear for CUET UG, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), and obtain a normalised score in the relevant CUET UG subject papers. There is no college-level direct admission or management quota at BRAC.
The selection process involves three stages. First, candidates qualify CUET UG and register on the DU CSAS portal. Second, candidates fill programme and college preferences. Third, seat allotment is done across multiple rounds based on CUET UG score and preference order. Candidates confirm allotment online and pay fees to lock the seat.
CUET Cutoff at BRAC (2026)
In CUET 2026, the General Category closing score for BA Hons Applied Psychology at BRAC was 762.99 out of 800, making it the most competitive programme at the college. B.Com Hons and BA Hons Business Economics typically see closing scores in the 320 to 380 band for General Category. BA Programme (general) combinations in languages and social sciences close at lower scores, with the range starting from around 282 in the final allotment round for certain combinations.
OBC-NCL, SC, and ST candidates qualify at lower closing scores as per DU’s reserved category norms. EWS category seats are also available across all programmes.
Eligibility
Eligibility for all programmes requires qualifying 10+2 from a recognised board with a valid CUET UG score. There is no minimum percentage cut-off imposed by BRAC independently; the DU CSAS cutoff is driven entirely by CUET normalised scores and seat availability. For Science stream students applying to BA Hons programmes, CUET scores in qualifying subjects are considered for eligibility.
BRAC Career Outcomes
BRAC is an undergraduate Arts and Commerce college without a conventional campus placement programme in the engineering or MBA college sense. Career outcomes for graduates vary by programme and are primarily through PG admissions, competitive examinations, and sector-specific employment.
BA Hons graduates in Economics and Business Economics pursue PG programmes at Delhi School of Economics, JNU, or other central universities, and enter finance, public policy, and banking sectors. B.Com Hons graduates appear for CA Foundation, CMA Foundation, MBA entrance examinations, and banking recruitment drives. BA Hons Applied Psychology graduates enter counselling, corporate HR, and mental health support roles, with many pursuing MSc or MA in Psychology or Social Work. BA Hons in Hindi Journalism and Mass Communication graduates enter print and digital media organisations, government media services (Doordarshan, AIR), and advertising agencies. The Social Work Hons programme at BRAC, the only such programme for boys among DU constituent colleges, trains graduates for roles in NGOs, government welfare departments, and international development organisations.
A significant proportion of BRAC graduates also appear for Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) examinations, Staff Selection Commission (SSC) recruitments, banking and insurance examinations (IBPS, LIC), and UPSC civil services after completing UG programmes.
BRAC Scholarships
BRAC students can access scholarships from the University of Delhi, the Delhi Government, and the central government’s National Scholarship Portal (NSP). The DU Merit-Cum-Means (MCM) scholarship is the primary college-level support for economically weaker students with strong academic performance.
| Scholarship | Eligibility | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| DU Merit-Cum-Means (MCM) Scholarship | Minimum 60 per cent in the previous qualifying examination, family income below INR 6 Lakhs per annum | Full tuition fee waiver for the academic year |

BRAC vs Rajdhani College vs Swami Shraddhanand College
Students applying through DU CSAS who prioritise the outer Delhi and northeast Delhi corridor typically compare BRAC, Rajdhani College, and Swami Shraddhanand College. All three are Delhi Government-funded, UGC-affiliated DU constituent colleges offering BA and B.Com programmes and admitting through CUET UG scores.
| Parameter | BRAC (Yamuna Vihar) | Rajdhani College (Palam) | Swami Shraddhanand College (Alipur) |
|---|---|---|---|

| Campus Area | 9 acres | - | - |
| Flagship Programme | BA Hons (Applied Psychology, Business Economics, Social Work) | BA Hons (Economics, History, Hindi) | BA Hons (multiple Arts streams) |
| Distinct Feature | Only DU college with Social Work Hons for boys, shooting range | One of the older DU outer-campus colleges | Heritage campus in north Delhi |
| Admission Gateway | CUET UG + DU CSAS | CUET UG + DU CSAS | CUET UG + DU CSAS |
| BA Hons (4-year) Fees | INR 0.51 to 1.08 Lakhs | Similar DU fee band | Similar DU fee band |
BRAC leads through its unique Social Work Hons programme for boys and the Applied Psychology Hons programme, both of which are relatively uncommon at outer Delhi DU colleges. Rajdhani College has a longer institutional history and broader subject range. Swami Shraddhanand College serves the north Delhi student base. Geographic proximity to the aspirant’s residence is often the deciding factor, given that all three follow the same DU admission system and fee band.
