CIC Delhi University uses the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) to select students for its 2026 admissions. Known as the Cluster Innovation Centre, it is an institution under the University of Delhi where students study subjects across different fields. Its B.Tech in Information Technology and Mathematical Innovation and BA (Hons) Humanities and Social Sciences each cost INR 11,000 per year.

The centre has just three programmes, with very few seats available. This makes its undergraduate admissions among the most competitive at Delhi University. Undergraduate applicants need CUET UG scores and must take part in DU’s Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS), the university’s process for assigning seats.

  • For B.Tech IT and Mathematical Innovation and BA (Hons) Humanities and Social Sciences, the CUET UG 2026 results have been declared. Admission involves CSAS UG registration, programme preferences and seat allotment.
  • The CUET PG 2026 results for MSc Mathematical Education applicants have also been declared. Seats are assigned through DU PG CSAS counselling.
  • The B.Tech intake is 50 seats, including about 20 General category seats. In 2025, the General category closing score reached 533 CUET UG marks in Round 4. CIC’s cutoff is among the highest for DU engineering programmes.
  • Students pay INR 11,000 annually for either B.Tech or BA (Hons). The MSc first-year fee is INR 10,000.
  • General category B.Tech applicants need at least 60% in Class 12, with Mathematics included among their four qualifying subjects.
  • CIC fills every seat through CUET merit and DU CSAS. It has no management quota.

Direct admission through a management quota is unavailable at CIC Delhi University. B.Tech, BA and MSc applicants must qualify through CUET merit and DU CSAS counselling. The small intake makes competition for admission high.

CIC Undergraduate Admission 2026

B.Tech and BA (Hons) applicants follow the CUET UG and DU CSAS admission route. Each programme has its own subject and marks requirements.

B.Tech in Information Technology and Mathematical Innovation

With an intake of only 50 students, CIC’s B.Tech is among DU’s most competitive programmes. The course brings information technology and mathematical sciences together, giving it an unusual subject combination among engineering programmes in India.

B.Tech Eligibility by Category

CategoryClass 12 RequirementsAdmission Basis
GeneralAt least 60% aggregate in 10+2, including Mathematics among the four qualifying subjectsCUET UG merit followed by DU CSAS seat allocation
OBC-NCLAt least 54% aggregate in 10+2; Mathematics is compulsoryCUET UG merit followed by DU CSAS seat allocation
PwD / CWAt least 57% aggregate in 10+2; Mathematics is compulsoryCUET UG merit followed by DU CSAS seat allocation

B.Tech Seat Allocation and Cutoff

Admission depends entirely on the CUET UG 2026 score. Once results are available, students must register for DU CSAS and list CIC B.Tech among their programme preferences. DU then assigns seats through CSAS. The limited intake keeps CIC’s cutoff among the highest for DU B.Tech programmes.

The General category closing score was 533 marks in Round 4 of 2025, compared with 595 marks in 2023. This change reflects shifts in applicant patterns.

  • For the General category, the 2025 closing scores in Rounds 1 to 3 stayed within the 549 to 551 CUET marks range.
  • Later CSAS rounds allow students to seek an upgrade to a higher preference. Seats become available when other applicants withdraw or move to another preference.
  • Applicants from SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD and CW categories are considered within their respective seat groups.

In 2025, CIC B.Tech had 50 seats, of which 20 were for the General category. Students seeking admission should take Mathematics in CUET UG and work towards a strong score. Some applicants secured admission after upgrades, when the Round 4 closing score reached 533 marks. Review each CSAS allotment list carefully before deciding to withdraw.

Steps to Apply for CIC B.Tech

  • Take CUET UG 2026 with Mathematics as one of your subjects.
  • After the results, complete registration through the DU CSAS portal at ugadmission.uod.ac.in during its registration window.
  • Enter your programme choices and include CIC B.Tech in Information Technology and Mathematical Innovation.
  • Review the first-round CSAS allocation and choose whether to accept the seat, seek an upgrade or withdraw, according to your preference.
  • Bring your original documents when reporting to CIC and pay the annual fee of INR 11,000.

BA (Hons) Humanities and Social Sciences

Students in this 3-year undergraduate course study several humanities and social science disciplines together. Like B.Tech applicants, they enter through CUET UG merit and the DU CSAS seat allocation process.
