    Commonly asked questions
    On Admissions
    Q: Β  How will I be allocated a seat at DU via the CSAS allocation (CUET UG counselling process)?
    6thumbs up
    A: 

    For seat allocation at DU, students are required to lock their college and course preferences after the result is out. Delhi University will consider normalised scores provided by NTA to calculate the merit scores as per programme's eligibility. The highest possible preference will be provisionally allocated to the candidates considering the following points:

    • Course-Specific merit
    • Category of the students (UR/ OBC-NCL/ SC/ ST/ EWS/ Minority)
    • Seat Intake
    • Any other allocation rules, policies, or criteria citied by CSAS or University of Delhi
    Q: Β  Do I need 60% in Class 12 to get admission in DU?
    A: 

    DU is considered one of the most competitive universities in India for Commerce, Science and Arts education at the undergraduate level. The university and its affiliated colleges was attracting the cream layer of crowd till the time admission was subject to Class 12 scores. While reserved category candidates still had minor chances of getting into a not-so-popular course of DU with 60% in Class 12, a General category student with 60% had no chance of getting into any good college or course at DU. 

    However, starting 2022, DU admission process has shifted to CUET-UG based admission process. Those with a valid score in CUET UG exam who have passed their Class 12 are eligible to take admission now. While the chances of getting into a good DU college are still low at this score, the chances of getting a seat have increased now (provided you score extremely well in CUET UG). 

    Q: Β  Can I get admission in DU without CUET?
    A: 

    Yes, it is possible to get in DU without CUET. However, this is not applicable for traditional regular UG courses. For most programmes, the university asks for CUET UG or CUET PG score. For courses, such as MBA and Law programmes, the university also considers other exams. Students can also join DU SOL, NCWEB using Class 12 marks and skipping CUET.

    Q: Β  Does the CUET syllabus also include chapters from Class 11?
    A: 

    No, class 11th subject syllabus is not included in CUET UG exam. Students who are preparing for CUET 2026 exam must focus on class 12th NCERT curriculum. NTA prescribes the CUET UG syllabus on its official website. Candidates must be familar the detailed syllabus mentioned on the NTA CUET official website- cuet.nta.nic.in. However, for better concepts clarity, candidates may refer to the class 11th resources.

    NTA CUET 2026 exam will be scheduled in May/June 2026 tentatively. Candidates preparing for board examinations must prepare well for the CUET exam along.

    Cooperative environment.
    Placements: I don't know the exact percentage of students who got internships. Last year, 3 or 4 of my batchmates got internships at companies like Himalaya, etc., through college. Their experience was really good working as interns. Placement cell is there.
    Infrastructure: Kamala Nehru College do not have its own hostel. The college Wi-Fi facilities, labs, classrooms, and library are really good. The library is really peaceful. The canteen food is very tasty and hygienic. Teachers also share the same food as students.
    Faculty: The teachers are very helpful, cooperative, qualified, and knowledgeable. They teach perfectly. Kamala Nehru's Geography faculty ranks 3rd position in Delhi University. The curriculum is relevant. It makes students industry-ready.
    Other: I chose this course because I am very much interested in Geography. It's actual, digital learning. The teachers and course are the best. Just the semester system is not good, as it interrupts continuous learning of the same domain.

    My college, Kamala Nehru College and the teachers, facilities, and curriculum.
    Placements: 10 percent of students got placed. 5 LPA is the package offered. Times Network and NDTV are the recruiting companies. 50 percent of students got internships. Roles are offered in communication and social media. Big media companies came for the placement opportunity. Also, the recruitment is smooth and fair, and the top recruitment happens mainly in journalism and commerce courses. I must recommend it for the best facilities like faculty and food.
    Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available. I would rate 3 for labs, 5 for classrooms, 5 for the library, and 5 out of 5 for food. There are network jammers in exam halls mainly to avoid cheating. The food, library, and classrooms are in good condition. If you want to choose a college for study, KNC is the best fit for you and your future.
    Faculty: Exams are not difficult. 90 percent is the passing percentage. Teachers are very helpful. They provide notes on time, and the way of teaching is also incredible, as they give fair time to complete each topic. Talking about industry-readiness, practical knowledge is not provided.
    Other: I chose this course because of my interest in journalism. Practical knowledge is great.

    One of the biggest colleges in Delhi University.
    Placements: Mainly in Political Science, honours placements are below average. This is common in every Delhi University College because Political Science honours usually don't provide placements. But still, last year, as far as I know, around 40 to 50 percent of students secured a government job through exams like SSC. Also, internship opportunities are really good. The college has its own dedicated placement cell, which provides internships to even first years in fields like media, Madhya Pradesh MLA assistant office, customer Care centres, Niti Aayog inter, Ministry of Information in inter, I myself have got an internship with a union minister.
    Infrastructure: College infrastructure is one of the best in Delhi University. Dyal Singh College have around 13 acres of campus, which makes it one of the biggest colleges in the entire university. Amenities like Wi-Fi, library, canteen, medical, and all sports-related facilities like ground, football court, basketball court, badminton court, volleyball court, bench area, Rose garden, biological garden, sports room, are available. A dedicated Science blog is also built on the college campus to facilitate science-related requirements like Chemistry and Biology labs, Maths lab, Geography lab, and astrology lab. Canteen food is average but is very affordable.
    Faculty: The syllabus is the same, and the exam pattern is also the same across Delhi University. The exam paper and syllabus both are decided by the university. High commission college plays no role in selecting the curriculum and questions. The faculty is one of the best. Professors are knowledgeable and helpful. Different activities are always given to students to make them industry-ready.
    Other: I chose Political Science to follow my passion. The housing college offers one of the best Political Science faculty, and also the campus life is really great. The thing that could be better is the hostel facility for students. The college was famous for student fights, but now the scenario has changed as CUET is bringing a good crowd. Last year was good, but the college doesn't have a very good past in organising fests. As I told you, the crowd is changing, so now we can expect a good fest from them.

    A shiny exposure with minor alerts.
    Placements: My course didn't provide any placements, but we can have them after doing a Master's. For example, after doing remote sensing-specific urban town planning or some other field, such as disaster management. We can get a place in companies like Apple or Google as a satellite reader or human population trends detector.
    Infrastructure: Canteen food, library, and labs are good, but geography department classrooms are not enough according to class size. The classes don't fit in it and are also very congested. We have to take chairs from the department, and it's very hectic for daily classes. Even after getting chairs, students have to sit outside of class.
    Faculty: Some teachers are really helpful and teach the concept with clarity, while a few of them are here for targeting students and making them feel useless. I don't know why they are doing it like this, but it's true. Even they expect every concept to be clear from us without proper teaching.
    Other: I chose it because of my interest, it provides me exposure to the world. As a geography student, I get a chance to look more closely into the Earth and human relations. My course can improve my practical knowledge, so we can get placements after UG.

    Infrastructure: I am a day scholar, and according to me, the infrastructure of my college is not that good but not that bad either. Although it would be good if fans worked properly and the buildings were properly maintained because there are many places where the infrastructure is not good.
    Faculty: Faculty is knowledgeable but couldn't teach properly, in my opinion, but the curriculum is good. Semester exams are not that difficult either. Due to my interest in my subject, learning is quite enjoyable. The history faculty even took everyone for an outing.

    Average infrastructure yet decent faculty.
    Placements: The course I am studying is History (Hons), and being completely transparent, there aren't many placements, especially in our course. Most of the students who get average placements are fewer in number and are doing a commerce-related course. That's quite a drawback of the college that it doesn't provide great placement availability.
    Infrastructure: The overall infrastructure of our college is decent, but if we specifically talk about certain departments, it's not very great. There are fewer benches and a larger number of students, and at the start of my college, I literally had to take a few lectures just standing and not even getting a proper chair to sit. So, it's kind of average according to me.
    Faculty: The teachers are quite knowledgeable in their specialised subjects, no doubt about that, and they also help the students in need of different material sources and trips of tempting answers in a more better manner. The semester exams are medium to hard level, and the students pass in a good percentage.
    Other: I chose this course because the main reason is that it's what interests me, and secondly, I came to Delhi for studying this specific course because it wasn't available in any of the colleges in my hometown.
