What is DU LLB Cutoff 2026?
The DU LLB cutoff is the minimum CUET PG score needed to secure a seat at a DU law centre. Delhi University does not publish a standalone cutoff list before counselling. The closing score from each CSAS PG round becomes the effective cutoff for that centre and category. Your CUET PG score and your CSAS PG preference order together decide which seat you get.
Two types of cutoffs matter here:
- CUET PG qualifying score: NTA sets this after the result. You must cross it to register on the CSAS PG portal at pgadmission.uod.ac.in. This is a minimum eligibility bar, not an admission guarantee.
- CSAS PG closing score: The lowest score that earned someone a seat in a specific centre and category in a given round. This is the real admission cutoff. It is always higher than the qualifying score.
Previous Year Official DU LLB Cutoff
DU LLB admission shifted to CUET PG from the 2023 cycle. NTA conducts CUET PG and scores are out of 300 marks. Data before 2023 came from a different 400-mark university exam and is not directly comparable. The table below shows official CSAS PG Round 1 closing scores for 2024 and 2025.
| Year | Law Centre | UR / General | OBC-NCL | EWS | SC | ST | PwBD |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Campus Law Centre | 213 | 187 | 196 | 167 | 135 | 96 |
| Law Centre II | 193 | 169 | 180 | 146 | 94 | 33 | |
| Law Centre I | 188 | 167 | 177 | 143 | 95 | 25 | |

Scores out of 300 (CUET PG). Law Centre II 2024 figures marked ~ are approximate based on published ranges. PwBD data for 2024 was not widely reported.
The General closing score at CLC rose by 8 marks from 2024 (205) to 2025 (213). SC cutoffs at CLC rose by 3 marks — from 164 to 167. The ST cutoff rose by 11 marks — from 124 to 135. Law Centre II and I stayed 20 to 25 marks below CLC in the General category across both years.
Ques. Will the 2026 cutoff be higher than in 2025?
Ans. The 2024 to 2025 trend shows General cutoffs at CLC rose by 8 marks. If applicant numbers grow in 2026, it could move up further. The official 2026 Round 1 closing scores are now live on pgadmission.uod.ac.in to confirm the actual direction.
Ques. Is the CUET PG qualifying score the same as the DU LLB admission cutoff?
Ans. No. NTA’s qualifying score only decides who can register for CSAS PG. The CSAS PG closing score is the real admission cutoff. It is the lowest CUET PG mark that earned someone a seat in a specific centre and category. The closing score is always higher than the qualifying score.

Factors Affecting DU LLB Cutoff 2026
The closing score shifts every year. Knowing what moves it helps you set a realistic target.
- Number of CUET PG applicants: More students with high scores push the closing score up. DU LLB draws applicants from across the country, and any growth in the top-scorer pool tightens the cutoff.
- CUET PG LLB paper difficulty: A tougher paper brings scores down. This usually lowers the cutoff. An easier paper does the opposite.
- NTA normalisation across sessions: CUET PG runs across multiple sessions. NTA normalises scores across them. A change in the normalisation method can shift your effective score even if your raw attempt stays the same.
- Total seats available: DU has around 2,888 LLB seats. A reduction in seats tightens the cutoff; an increase eases it.
- Choice-filling pattern: Most students put Campus Law Centre as their first choice. Heavy first-preference demand keeps CLC’s closing score the highest among all three centres.
- Category-wise seat matrix: Each category has a fixed seat share. Any revision to the OBC-NCL, EWS, SC, or ST seat count directly shifts the cutoff for that category.
- Withdrawal rate after Round 1: Students who accept Round 1 seats but later upgrade in Round 2 release those seats back. A high withdrawal rate in a category can ease Round 2 and Round 3 cutoffs.
DU LLB 2026: Law Centre-Wise Closing Scores
Delhi University’s three LLB law centres differ in location, timing, and seat intake. Campus Law Centre is a morning college on the North Campus and draws the most demand. Law Centre II and Law Centre I are evening law colleges with slightly lower closing scores.
The 2026 Round 1 allotment was released on June 15, 2026. Official closing scores for 2026 are published on pgadmission.uod.ac.in. The 2025 Round 1 data below serves as your reference. The 2026 numbers will appear on third-party sources soon.
| Law Centre | UR (2025 R1) | OBC-NCL (2025 R1) | EWS (2025 R1) | SC (2025 R1) | ST (2025 R1) | PwBD (2025 R1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Campus Law Centre | 213 | 187 | 196 | 167 | 135 | 96 |
| Law Centre II | 193 | 169 | 180 | 146 | 94 | 33 |
| Law Centre I | 188 | 167 | 177 | 143 | 95 | 25 |
For 2026 Round 1 closing scores, log in at pgadmission.uod.ac.in with your CUET PG application number and password. The official 2026 data was released on June 15, 2026.
In 2025, the General closing score at CLC (213) was 25 marks above Law Centre I (188). It was 20 marks above Law Centre II (193). Law Centre I and II had General cutoffs separated by just 5 marks. If you narrowly miss CLC, Law Centre II is the next realistic target.
Category-Wise Cutoff at Campus Law Centre
Campus Law Centre is the most competitive DU law centre. Its category-wise closing scores set the toughest benchmark. The table below compares 2024 and 2025 Round 1 scores at CLC across all major categories.
| Category | CLC Round 1 — 2024 | CLC Round 1 — 2025 | Change (marks) |
|---|---|---|---|
| UR / General | 205 | 213 | +8 |
| EWS | 188 | 196 | +8 |
| OBC-NCL | 180 | 187 | +7 |
| SC | 164 | 167 | +3 |
| ST | 124 | 135 | +11 |
| PwBD | — | 96 | — |
Closing scores rose across every category from 2024 to 2025. The ST category saw the largest rise of 11 marks — from 124 to 135. The UR and EWS categories each moved up by 8 marks. SC saw the smallest rise of 3 marks. These shifts point to more ST-category students entering CSAS PG with competitive CUET PG scores in 2025 compared to 2024.
DU CSAS PG also has smaller sub-categories including Kashmiri Migrants (KM), Sports and Games Certificate (SGC), and Orphan quota. These have separate, lower closing scores. If you qualify under any of these, check the allotment list on pgadmission.uod.ac.in for the applicable data.
DU LLB Previous Year Cutoff Trends
The table below tracks Campus Law Centre closing scores across 2024 and 2025 — the two confirmed CUET PG years. Before 2023, DU used its own entrance exam with 100 questions out of 400 marks. That data is not directly comparable with CUET PG scores out of 300.
| Category | CLC Round 1 — 2024 | CLC Round 1 — 2025 | Shift (marks) | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UR / General | 205 | 213 | +8 | Tighter |
| EWS | 188 | 196 | +8 | Tighter |
| OBC-NCL | 180 | 187 | +7 | Tighter |
| SC | 164 | 167 | +3 | Tighter |
| ST | 124 | 135 | +11 | Tighter |
Closing scores tightened across every category from 2024 to 2025. The General score at CLC rose by 8 marks in a single year. The ST category saw the steepest rise of 11 marks. This upward movement across all categories signals growing competition in the CUET PG LLB pool.
At Law Centre I, the General cutoff moved from 186 to 188 — a rise of 2 marks. At Law Centre II, it moved from approximately 190 to 193 — a rise of about 3 marks. Both law centres have stayed 20 to 25 marks below CLC in the General category.
For 2026, expect the General cutoff at CLC to reach 215 or above if paper difficulty stays similar. A harder paper could ease it back toward 210. The 2026 Round 1 closing scores are now live on pgadmission.uod.ac.in for confirmed data.
Ques. Were DU LLB cutoffs higher before CUET PG was introduced?
Ans. Before 2023, DU used its own entrance exam with 100 questions out of 400 marks. General cutoffs at Campus Law Centre were typically in the 280 to 300 range out of 400. The switch to CUET PG changed the scale to 300 marks. The two CUET PG years are 2024 and 2025. General CLC closing scores moved from 205 to 213 across those two years.
Round-Wise Cutoff Analysis
CSAS PG runs three allotment rounds for DU LLB. Cutoffs at most centres drop from Round 1 to Round 3. This happens when students with a lower-preference allotment in Round 1 upgrade to a higher-preference centre in Round 2. The vacated seat goes back into the pool. The table below shows how Round 1, 2, and 3 closing scores compared at Campus Law Centre in 2025.
| Round | CLC UR | CLC OBC-NCL | CLC SC | CLC ST |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 (2025) | 213 | 187 | 167 | 135 |
| Round 2 (2025) | 207 | 177 | 157 | 115 |
| Round 3 (2025) | — | 177 | — | 115 |
The General closing score at CLC dropped 6 marks from Round 1 (213) to Round 2 (207) in 2025. The ST cutoff fell by 20 marks — from 135 to 115 — across the same period. The OBC-NCL cutoff stayed flat at 177 from Round 2 to Round 3. This suggests all OBC seats filled by Round 2. If you miss Round 1, you still have a real chance in Round 2 or Round 3. The General and ST categories see the most movement.
CSAS PG Counselling Process
Delhi University runs DU LLB admissions through the Centralised Seat Allocation System for PG programmes (CSAS PG). Here is how the process works:
- Step 1 — CUET PG exam: You appear for the CUET PG LLB paper (NTA-conducted, out of 300 marks). Your score is your entry ticket to CSAS PG.
- Step 2 — CSAS PG registration: After results, you register on pgadmission.uod.ac.in. You fill in your programme choices in preference order. You rank the three law centres as you want them.
- Step 3 — Round 1 allotment: DU releases the first allotment based on CUET PG merit and your preference order. You must accept the seat, get documents verified, and pay the fee within the deadline to confirm your place.
- Step 4 — Upgrade rounds: In Round 2 and Round 3, students with lower-preference allotments may move to higher-preference centres if seats open up. If you upgrade, your original seat goes back to the pool.
- Step 5 — Final confirmation: After Round 3, allotment is final. You report to the allotted law centre with original documents for admission.
DU CSAS PG does not have a separate spot round for LLB. Three allotment rounds are the full process. Missing the Round 3 deadline means losing your seat.
DU LLB Marks vs Score 2026
Your CUET PG score out of 300 determines which law centre you can realistically aim for in CSAS PG. The table below maps score ranges to likely outcomes based on 2025 Round 1 closing data. Use it to set your personal score target before choice filling.
| CUET PG Score (out of 300) | Category | Likely Outcome — Round 1 (Based on 2025 Data) |
|---|---|---|
| 215 and above | UR / General | Strong chance at Campus Law Centre |
| 195 – 214 | UR / General | Law Centre II; CLC possible in Round 2 |
| 188 – 194 | UR / General | Law Centre I; Law Centre II possible in Round 2–3 |
| Below 188 | UR / General | Unlikely in Round 1; try all three in Round 2–3 |
| 196 and above | EWS | Campus Law Centre |
| 187 and above | OBC-NCL | Campus Law Centre |
| 167 and above | SC | Campus Law Centre |
| 135 and above | ST | Campus Law Centre |
These are based on 2025 Round 1 data. The actual 2026 closing scores may differ. Always check the official allotment list at pgadmission.uod.ac.in for confirmed figures.
Every 1 mark above the closing score gives you a stronger position when upgrading in Round 2 or Round 3. A score of 220 at CLC General gives you a 7-mark buffer above the 2025 closing score of 213. This buffer is useful if 2026 cutoffs rise slightly.

Ques. What is the total CUET PG score for DU LLB?
Ans. The CUET PG LLB paper has 75 MCQs worth 4 marks each. The total is 300 marks. You lose 1 mark for every wrong answer. NTA normalises scores across sessions, so your final official score may differ slightly from your raw calculation.
Ques. Is there a separate cutoff for Delhi-resident students?
