St. Stephen's College closed BSc (Hons.) Mathematics at 834.08/1000 in Delhi University's CSAS Round 1, 2025, the highest science cutoff that year. The scale matters: BSc Maths is evaluated out of 1000 (four CUET subjects × 250 each), so pick your subjects carefully — especially the mandatory Mathematics domain.
CUET subject combination BSc Hons Mathematics: mandatory subjects
Delhi University requires any one language from List A plus Mathematics or Applied Mathematics as a compulsory CUET domain, and two additional subjects from List B. List A includes English, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu and Sanskrit. Examples from List B are Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science and Statistics.
Candidates who did not appear in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics as a CUET domain are ineligible for BSc (Hons.) Mathematics, irrespective of their total score. This rule comes directly from the university's eligibility framework and is non-negotiable during CSAS counselling.
CUET subject combination BSc Hons Mathematics: evaluation and scoring
Unlike many BSc programmes evaluated on 750 marks, BSc (Hons.) Mathematics uses four subjects, so totals are on a 1000 -point scale. That makes DU maths cutoffs directly comparable to humanities and commerce courses and explains the high numerical values at top colleges.
Normalization and subject weightage affected year-on-year movement: St. Stephen's jumped from roughly 712 UR in 2024 to 834.08 UR in 2025, reflecting wider score dispersion after CUET normalization.
2025 cutoffs, round drops and 2026 projection
Round 1 2025 highlights: St. Stephen's 834.08 , Hindu College 816.44 , Hansraj 698.32 , and Aryabhatta College 486.28 for the UR category. By Round 3, St. Stephen's eased to 828.14 and the spot round closed at 821.12 . Mid-tier colleges typically saw 5–20 point falls across rounds.
OBC cutoffs at top colleges ran roughly 75–85 marks below UR; DU data suggests OBC applicants should target 610+ to be competitive for premier North Campus choices. Delhi University normally runs 3–4 CSAS rounds , including a spot round, giving marginally missed candidates further chances.
Projections for 2026 place St. Stephen's UR around 836–842 , with mid-tier college UR ranges roughly 620–720 and off-campus colleges generally below 520 .
Short takeaway: if you aim for top DU maths colleges, choose Mathematics/Applied Mathematics as a CUET domain and a List A language plus two science List B subjects. Missing the Maths domain makes you ineligible, so confirm your subject combination before CUET registration and CSAS counselling.
