    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:   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.

    All good and a lot of things have been improved in my college everyone should go for it.
    Placements: My college is all good and about 75% of students have been placed the average package is 7 LPA. My college has given every student a good opportunity and almost every student who passed out from my college has got a nice job and going well. So I recommend taking admission here.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure is an average according to me but studies are all good hostels are all well-maintained and available with all facilities. There is a library available with Wi-Fi available and many labs for students and all classrooms have AC with the projector as well as clean classes and clean washrooms with CCTV also.
    Faculty: Teachers are very helpful to me whatever doubt you have you can go and ask your teachers ready to solve it. Semester exams are not that difficult all is fine and good, like average. My favorite teacher is so kind, she always helps me and everyone is very open and cooperative. Every faculty member is very humble with every student and all over it is a good one you should choose. Faculty members are so humble and cooperative.
    Other: I would like to say there is very little enjoyment sometimes so the college should introduce some more fests or competitions.
