    Commonly asked questions
    On Admissions
    Q:   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:   How will I be allocated a seat at DU via the CSAS allocation (CUET UG counselling process)?
    3thumbs 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 specific eligibility. The highest possible preference will be provisionally allocated to the candidates considering the following
    criteria:

    • Program-Specific merit
    • Category of the students (UR/ OBC-NCL/ SC/ ST/ EWS/ Minority)
    • Availability of seats
    • Any other allocation rules, policies, or criteria citied by (CSAS (UG)- 2025) or University of Delhi
    Q:   Can I get admission in Delhi University without CUET?
    A: 

    CUET UG is compulsory for admission in the affiliated colleges of University of Delhi for UG courses. Delhi University introduced admissions through CUET scores in 2024 for candidates who seek admission. Candidates will not be granted admission on the basis of merit of class 12th. However, there are some specific percentage criteria needed to appear for the CUET exam for class 12th candidates which is given below:

    • Students must have passed Class 12 or appeared in Class 12 from a recognized board in any stream to take admission to bachelor’s degree programmes in the central, state, private or deemed universities.
    • For the General category, the candidate needs to secure a minimum of 50% in Class 12; for SC/ST, candidates must have secured a minimum of 45% in Class 12 to be eligible for the CUET 2025. For BTch programmes, the minimum aggregate for the General category candidates is 45%, and that of the reserved category candidates is 40%.

    Morever, candidates who wish to apply for Delhi University must have a valid score in CUET. Undergraduate courses including BCom, BTech, BA, BSc and more are offered by the affiliated colleges.

    Q:   Can I get into DU with 500 score in CUET UG?
    A:

However, cutoffs can vary as per the courses, for some courses, it is below and for other, it is above.

    The best commerce college.
    Placements: From CUET, students get opportunities for this course, and people choose this course in DCAC. The highest placement is 10 LPA, the average is 5 LPA, and the lowest is 2 LPA. At most 70 percent of students get placed everywhere from this course, and the college top recruiting companies are Deloitte, KPMG, and many more.
    Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is mid, classrooms are decent, library is excellent. Infrastructure is 5/10, but is good for studies. There is no hostel. Canteen is working, but the food is not that good. Facilities for sports are not as needed, they need to be changed ASAP and work should be done soon.
    Faculty: Faculty is kind and sweet and always helping to students. They are highly qualified, all have 15+ years of experience in their professional life. Professors have the study material, which they always share or make sure that students get it for their academics.
    Other: I chose B.A. Eco Hons. The best thing is it is the best college for Eco Hons, as it has highly specialized teachers and professors. I wish there is more campus area and more sports facilities and activities to engage students who have interest in sports.

    The faculty members are good, but the infrastructure isn’t.
    Placements: I am not much aware of my college’s placement cell, but there is a cell that provides better placements. About 65–70 percent of students have been placed, from my knowledge. Students mostly find internships online through sites and LinkedIn and apply for jobs.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is not that good. The Wi-Fi sometimes doesn’t work, and the facilities are limited. There is a canteen too, but since I don’t visit it much, I’m not aware of the food they provide. We also have a medical room that is better and good.
    Faculty: The teachers of our department are helpful and qualified. They are very helpful during exams. Most faculty members are approachable and supportive, especially during exams, projects, and internships. The teaching quality is good, with a balance of theoretical concepts and practical examples.
    Other: I got this course through CUET, and certain fests do take place.

    Need to heavily work on infrastructure and placements.
    Placements: Not much is known about the placement cell. Internships aren’t provided as well. We have to find internships and placements externally on our own. We do have clubs in our college, but they are just namesake. Very few events, functions, and programs are conducted.
    Infrastructure: We don’t have a hostel for our college, so we have to take PGs nearby. The PGs are very bad, lack hygiene, and the food quality is very poor. The Wi-Fi doesn’t work all around the college. The infrastructure and facilities are very poor, and our college really needs to work on them.
    Faculty: The teachers are good and really helpful when it comes to the faculty part of our college. Especially the history department teacher, who is very helpful and understanding. She listens and helps with any problems we face and teaches really well. The semester exams are moderately difficult.

    Decent college, could be considered as a last resort.
    Placements: The placements provided by the college are below average. People from the B.A. program do get placements, but it is rare that they will get a good one. High packages are offered by some companies, but few will rarely grasp those. So it would be safe to avoid going to this college if you don't have any other skills other than your degree, if you want a good placement.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good for a college in a place like Shahdara, but it could have been better. For playing sports, we have a volleyball court and a ground where you can play football, cricket, etc. Hostel facilities are not provided by the college, so students have to make arrangements on their own.
    Faculty: The faculty is the best aspect of this college. The teachers here are helpful, highly qualified professionals, and have a lot of experience in their respective fields. The curriculum is slightly above average, and as far as the exams are concerned, they are really easy, with a minimum passing percentage of 40%.
    Other: College fests, events, and societies are all in a developing phase here, but they are showing some great results.

    It has decent faculty and crowd.
    Placements: 10-30% of students got placed. The highest package is 12 LPA, the lowest is 4 LPA, and the average is 6-7 LPA. Top companies are Deloitte, Wipro, and Genpact. 20-40% of students got internships. Top roles in the political science course are civil services, law, journalism, public policy, and international relations.
    Infrastructure: Classes with AC and smart boards, a decent faculty with good facilities, including perfect benches, available Wi-Fi, and a good library, but insufficient reading material. There are no labs for political science students. The college does not provide hostels. Students live in PGs.
    Faculty: Teachers are helpful and encourage students. They are well-educated and have good teaching skills. This course curriculum is relevant and makes students knowledgeable. Easy exam patterns, no need for any extra study; the passing percentage is around 40%.
    Other: I chose this course because I'm interested in public policy, administration, and international relations. The best thing about this course is that you will be able to find out what is exactly happening in the whole world and about your own country. I would like to improve fests and events by using more effective ways, canteen food items should improve, and there should be an increase in resources/reading in the library for particular research.

    College is fine, as it is only for girls, so it is better.
    Placements: If our course is in the arts, then there are no placements related to it; people go to further fields like professor, IPS, IAS. The rest of us prepare for most of our courses according to our subjects. We still have a lot to do in life, which means further studies. Most of the students pursue a Master's, and the rest continue their studies through Ph.D. etc.

There is a canteen near the library where you don't get much good food. You get samosas and some other snacks. The college does not have its own hostel. According to me, everyone lives in private PGs.
    Faculty: Our teachers here are good, and their teaching quality is also good. The course curriculum is correct, and everything else is okay. Semester exams are conducted from the main office of the college, the Delhi University branch. Semester exam difficulty is not great.
    Other: We have the most off-day scholars here. Many things can be improved, such as the way the course is taught. The rest of the events at the fest are all good.
