The University of Delhi's Non-Collegiate Women's Education Board (NCWEB) has published the first cut-off list for Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) and Bachelor of Arts (BA) admissions for the 2026-27 academic year. Women applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can complete their online admission process starting July 28 at 10 am, continuing through July 30, at their designated teaching centers.
Understanding NCWEB Admissions at Delhi University
NCWEB offers an alternative route for women seeking higher education while balancing other commitments such as employment or skill development courses. Unlike the regular undergraduate admissions at Delhi University, which rely on the Common University Entrance Test (CUET UG) scores, NCWEB admissions are determined solely by Class 12 board examination results. This flexible system allows women who cannot attend regular college classes to pursue undergraduate degrees through weekend classes and distance learning.
Cut-Off Scores and Teaching Centers for BCom 2026
The first cut-off list reveals significant variation in admission marks across NCWEB teaching centers. Hansraj College and Miranda House have set the highest general category cut-off at 85% for BCom admissions. Other notable cut-offs include:
- Shaheed Rajguru College of Applied Sciences for Women (SGGSCC) – 75%
- Maitreyi College – 70%
- Keshav Mahavidyalaya – 66%
- Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College – 65%
- Janki Devi Memorial College (J.D.M. College) and Deshbandhu College – 60%
- Several colleges such as Bhagini Nivedita College, Aditi Mahavidyalaya, and Aryabhatta College have cut-offs starting at 50%
Classes for BCom students at Bhagini Nivedita College, Aryabhatta College, College of Vocational Studies, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College, Keshav Mahavidyalaya, Ramanujan College, SPM College, and Hansraj College will be held on Saturdays. Students admitted to other teaching centers will attend classes on Sundays.
What the NCWEB Cut-Offs Mean for Prospective Students
The release of the first cut-off list is a crucial step for women planning to enroll in undergraduate courses through NCWEB. The high cut-offs at prestigious colleges like Hansraj and Miranda House indicate strong competition even within this flexible admission system. Applicants must act promptly to complete their online registration and submit all required documents to secure their seats.
NCWEB’s model supports women who need to balance education with other responsibilities, making higher education more accessible. However, the varying cut-offs across centers reflect differences in demand and capacity, guiding applicants to choose colleges that align with their academic profiles and preferences.
With the admissions window open only until July 30, timely action is essential. This system continues to expand opportunities for women who might otherwise find it challenging to pursue regular college education.
