Delhi University (DU)

The CUET has now become the admission test for all the undergraduate programs including the B.Tech for all the central universities from the 2022-2023 academic session. To get admission to the B.Tech programs under the University of Delhi, the students have to pass the CBSE or any other equivalent examination with 60% marks in aggregate and at least 50% marks in Physics, Mathematics and any one of the subjects Chemistry/ Biology/ Biotechnology/ Computer Science. For admissions to B.Tech programs offered in various colleges affiliated to Delhi University, candidates may have to refer to the opening and closing rank / cutoff marks for each college and branch. Most of the reputed colleges have the cutoffs ranging from 80-90% and above, but there may be some colleges or programs having comparatively low cutoffs. A candidate scoring 485 in CUET exam may get into the less competitive branches or colleges.

Every college affiliated to Delhi University has its own cut-off list which the students have to qualify or cross using their CUET scores. Colleges can be grouped in three categories depending on the level of their cut-off marks; relatively low cuts, mid- range and relatively high cuts. A student scoring 559 out of 800 on CUET may be able to get into colleges with relatively lower cut-offs, such as Dyal Singh College, Zakir Husain College, and certain courses at Shri Ram College of Commerce. Hansraj College and Kamala Nehru College can also be possibilities for colleges with moderate cut-offs, based purely on the stream and course. But, if a student has secured 559 in CUET, he or she is not going to get admission to any of the top ranked colleges like Lady Shri Ram College or Miranda House where cut offs are considerably high.

Below is the list of scholarships provided by Maharaja Agrasen College to its students pursuing their BCom education. Some of the important scholarships are as follows:

• Prime Minister's Scholarship Scheme: This merit-cum-means-based scholarship is for the economically weaker meritorious students who have at least 60% in Class 12.
