The process of admission for DU is extremely competitive, especially for the well known and popular courses and colleges. However, the level of difficulty of admission varies a lot depending on the programme a student wishes to get into and the DU college a student seeks. Some of the key parameters that define how easy or tough can it be for a student to get into a good DU college are:

• Scores in CUET/ Class 12
• Category
• Selection of College + Course combination in the CSAS registration process

Up until 2021, only top scorers of Class 12 were able to get into Hindu, Hansraj, Miranada, SRCC, LSR and other reputed colleges for premium courses such as BA (Hons) in Economics/ English/ Political Science, BSc (Hons) Physics/ Chemistry/ Mathematics and BCom (Hons) courses. However, starting 2022, introduction of CUET has changed the process all over. 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 top notch DU college, there is a basic hack that can be followed by everyone. All the reputed 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 going for these courses.
