Dreaming of walking through the red-brick corridors of the Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC)? As India’s #1 college for Commerce and Economics, getting into SRCC is a badge of honor. But with cutoffs soaring near the 100th percentile, you need more than just hard work, you need a strategic roadmap.
In this guide, we break down everything from eligibility and the CUET exam pattern to a month-by-month preparation strategy to help you secure that seat in 2026.
Courses Offered & Seat Matrix
SRCC offers two primary undergraduate programs. Knowing your target is the first step:
- B.Com (Hons): Approx. 626 seats.
- B.A. (Hons) Economics: Approx. 155 seats.
Eligibility Criteria for 2026
To be eligible for SRCC, you must appear in the CUET (UG) 2026 exam. The subject combinations are specific:
For B.Com (Hons):
- Combination 1: Any one Language (from List A) + Mathematics/Applied Mathematics + Any two subjects (at least one from List B1).
- Combination 2: Any one Language (from List A) + Accountancy/Bookkeeping + Any two subjects (at least one from List B1).
For B.A. (Hons) Economics:
- Mandatory: Any one Language (from List A) + Mathematics/Applied Mathematics + Any two subjects (at least one from List B1).
- Note: Mathematics is compulsory for Economics Hons, even if you didn’t have it as a primary subject in some boards.
The Admission Journey: Step-by-Step
Admission to SRCC is handled through the CSAS (Common Seat Allocation System) portal.
- CUET Registration (Feb-March 2026): Choose your subjects carefully. You must pick subjects you studied in Class 12.
- Appear for CUET (May 2026): Aim for a “Perfect Score” (approx. 780-800/800 for General Category).
- CSAS Phase 1: Register on the DU admission portal using your CUET application number.
- CSAS Phase 2 (Preference Filling): This is CRITICAL. Place SRCC at the #1 spot in your preference list.
- Seat Allocation: If your score matches the SRCC cutoff, you will be “Allocated” a seat. Accept it immediately and pay the fees!
Winning Preparation Strategy for 2026
To crack SRCC, your preparation must be divided into three phases:
- Phase 1: Concept Clarity (Until Feb 2026) Focus entirely on your NCERTs. CUET is 100% based on the Class 12 NCERT syllabus. Ensure you don’t just “read” but “understand” every line of Business Studies, Economics, and Accountancy.
- Phase 2: Speed & Accuracy (March – April 2026) After boards, shift your focus to MCQs. Start practicing Timed Mock Tests. The challenge in CUET isn’t just knowing the answer; it’s solving 40 questions in 45-60 minutes.
- Phase 3: The Final Lap (May 2026) Analyze CUET previous year questions (PYQs). Focus on “Deleted Topics”—chapters that were removed from boards but are still part of the CUET syllabus.

Final Pro-Tip for SRCC Aspirants
Don’t ignore the Language Paper (English/Hindi). While most students focus on Accountancy or Economics, the Language paper often acts as the “tie-breaker.” A score of 190+/200 in English is almost mandatory for a general category student to reach the SRCC threshold.
