What’s new in DU Admissions 2022?

This year, the admission season is all set to break the age-old practice of enrolling students on the basis of the merit list or cut-off marks. In 2022 Delhi University and the affiliated colleges will offer admissions to eligible candidates based on CUET scores and 12th class marks (Best of four). While CUET 2022 score will be used only to screen and shortlist admission to UG / Undergraduate level programme offered by the varsity. The admission to all Postgraduate and PhD level courses will be through university-specific DUET – Delhi University Entrance Test 2022.

DU admission has been so far the toughest with the cut-off marks touching 100 per cent last year. With the adoption of CUET scores, now students from across the country will get equal opportunities and chances to get admission to prestigious University.
