Delhi University (DU) has introduced a supernumerary quota for single girl children in its postgraduate (PG) admissions for the 2025–26 academic session. Starting this cycle, the university will reserve one additional seat in every PG course for eligible single girl candidates applying through CUET PG 2025 counselling.

To avail of the benefit, eligible students must submit a self-declaration form along with supporting documents, such as a notarised affidavit or certificate from a competent authority. DU has clarified that preference may be given to candidates from economically weaker sections (EWS) or socially disadvantaged groups within the eligible category.

The admission process for Delhi University (DU) is extremely competitive, especially for the well known and popular courses and colleges. However, the difficulty level of admission varies depending on the programme a student wishes to get into. Some of the key parameters that define how difficult can be for a student to get into a good DU college with good course:
Up until 2021, only top scorers of Class 12 were able to get into Hindu, Hansraj, Miranada, SRCC, LSR and other reputed colleges for top courses such as BA (Hons) in Economics/ English/ Political Science, BSc (Hons) Physics/ Chemistry/ Mathematics and BCom (Hons) courses. However, the introduction of CUET has changed the game. Now, even if a student could not do well in Class 12 has a chance of getting into the cream colleges with a good score in CUET.
However, if the dream is just to study in a reputed DU college, there is a basic hack that can be followed by anyone and everyone. All the top colleges of DU offer short-duration certificate courses in Languages and other interest areas. Those who are not able to get into DU can witness the buzz of being a DU student by pursuing these courses. For details on the same, students are advised to visit the official website of the DU affiliated colleges.
