Some of the expected safe score ranges include:
- Miranda House: 924–927
- Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC): 916–918

Candidates who successfully complete seat acceptance, document verification and fee payment within the scheduled timeline will secure provisional admission under the first round. Those who are not allotted a preferred course or college can also look forward to the second allocation list scheduled for July 25 as the admission process continues across multiple counselling rounds.
