Your CUET Profile
Your CMS from DU CSAS portal — the sum of CUET NTA Scores across required domain subjects for each program.
Your Priority Courses (up to 5)
The generator will rank colleges for these courses first, in your priority order.
How the algorithm ranks colleges
For each priority course: Tier 1 (Dream) colleges first, then Tier 2 (Preferred), then Tier 3 (Safety). Within each tier: Safe → Borderline → Ambitious. Safety buffer fills remaining slots from all eligible programs.

How the Preference Sheet Generator Works
The generator uses a three-factor ranking algorithm — the same logic used by expert DU counsellors.
Tier System (NIRF)
Colleges are grouped into Tier 1 (Dream: SRCC, Hindu, Miranda House, St. Stephen's, LSR), Tier 2 (Preferred: Ramjas, Hansraj, Kirori Mal, Gargi, IP College), and Tier 3 (Safety: all remaining DU colleges). Dream colleges always appear first within each course.
Course Priority
Your selected programs are handled in priority order. All Tier 1–3 colleges for Course #1 come before Course #2's colleges. This ensures your most-wanted subject is at the top of your sheet, not scattered randomly.
Safety Buffer
After all priority course colleges, the generator fills your sheet with remaining eligible colleges from all programs — ordered Tier 1→3, Safe→Borderline→Ambitious. This ensures you always have 30–40 total preferences with solid safety options at the bottom.
DU College Tier Classification
| Tier | Label | Key Colleges |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dream | SRCC, St. Stephen's, Hindu College, Miranda House, Lady Shri Ram (LSR) |
| 2 | Preferred | Ramjas, Hansraj, Kirori Mal, Gargi, IP College, Jesus & Mary, Daulat Ram, ARSD, Kamala Nehru, Venkateswara, Dyal Singh |
| 3 | Safety | All remaining DU colleges — Motilal Nehru, Zakir Husain, Deshbandhu, Swami Shraddhanand, Satyawati, and others |
Why Preference Order is Everything in DU CSAS
The most common CSAS mistake costs students their dream college — and it's completely avoidable.
Common Mistake
Student puts Motilal Nehru College (Safety) as Preference #1 thinking "I'll definitely get this." Their CMS of 710 also qualifies them for Hindu College B.A. Economics at #8.
Result: Gets Motilal Nehru.
DU CSAS gave them Preference #1 and stopped. Hindu College was never offered — even though they qualified.
Correct Strategy
Same student puts Hindu College B.A. Economics as Preference #1. Motilal Nehru is added as Preference #35 in the safety buffer.
Result: Gets Hindu College.
DU CSAS tried #1, found CMS qualified, and allotted Hindu College. Preference order = outcome determinant.
The Rule: Put preferences in the order you actually want them — not in order of "safety." DU CSAS automatically handles the safety logic. Your job is to express your true priority. This generator puts Dream colleges first by design — but you must reorder based on your personal preference between same-tier options.
