Commonly asked questions
Q:   How hard is it to get admission in Delhi University for an average student?
A: 

The admission process for Delhi University (DU) is extremely competitive, especially for the well known and popular courses and colleges. However, the difficulty level of admission varies depending on the programme a student wishes to get into. Some of the key parameters that define how difficult can be for a student to get into a good DU college with good course:

  • 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 top courses such as BA (Hons) in Economics/ English/ Political Science, BSc (Hons) Physics/ Chemistry/ Mathematics and BCom (Hons) courses. However, the introduction of CUET has changed the game. 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 reputed DU college, there is a basic hack that can be followed by anyone and everyone. All the top 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 pursuing these courses. For details on the same, students are advised to visit the official website of the DU affiliated colleges.

Q:   Can I take admission to DU with 60% in Class 12?
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:   Which entrance test scores are accepted by Delhi University for BTech?
A: 

Candidates wanting to pursue BTech from DU must meet the prescribed eligibility and selection requirements. The university accept valid scores of JEE Main and CUET for selection purposes. Selection shall be done based on merit in these entrance examinations. The aspirants shall stay updated with DU admission schedule and the accepted exam dates.

On B.A. Admissions
Q:   How can I get admission in DU to pursue MA? I have completed BA from Punjabi University, Patiala.
A: 

Delhi University MA admission till 2021 was offered in two categories: Direct Admission and Through Entrance Test.

Q:   How much does BA cost in Delhi University?
A: 

The total tuition fee for BA and BA (Hons) courses offered by the University of Delhi ranges between INR 540 and INR 1.5 lakh depending on the college a student is seeking or taking admission to.

Q:   How is the assessment conducted in B.A programme at Maharaja Agrasen College?

The type of assessment may include written tests, presentations, group projects, or practical examinations, depending on course requirements. The model of continuous evaluation is followed at this college, and the marks are partly for internal assessments, which are continuous in nature throughout the semester. The terminal semester examinations at the end of every term shall cover the entire syllabi. This all-inclusive assessment will help monitor the progress of students and point out areas that need remediation.

Average campus, fun societies, great faculty, smooth 2nd-year migration.
Placements: Some people from my college take placements, but most of the placements are for Marketing and Sales. So none of my classmates accept any offers since we are from a computer background. You have to find and apply for internships yourself, as the college does not provide much accommodation for this.
Infrastructure: The college has fully AC computer labs with i7 systems. A library stocked with books ranging from literature and psychology to coding. However, it lacks hostel facilities. The college also has a fully air-conditioned reading room. Where you can study in peace and prepare for any competitive exam.
Faculty: Faculty of this department is great. I’m from the first NEP batch. The start wasn’t smooth, but now the curriculum is well-structured and everything is running fine. The semester exams are of medium difficulty. You can clear the exams in two days. If you want great or good marks, you must focus in class and show yourself to the teachers, as they give internal marks (teachers’ pet).

Placements: Cutoffs were quite high as it's north campus. Most of the students don't do not go for placements and often go for M.Sc. because at B.Sc. level there are many packages. So after doing M.Sc. most of the students pursue Ph.D. or then they go for scientist or research jobs.
Infrastructure: Labs are very good, classrooms are good but do not have AC, library facility is also good. Canteen is normal, like it is normal, like a canteen, do not expect much tasty food. We have a sports complex and two big sports grounds and many gardens in college.
Faculty: All of the teachers are very highly qualified, some of the teachers have studied at foreign universities like Stanford and Oxford, but some teachers still do not know how to teach. Like they have knowledge but they do not know how to transfer it to students. Semester exams are normal and the passing criteria is 66%.

Good vibes and the best faculty members.
Placements: The placement opportunities were not that great last year, a very small percentage of students actually got recruited (around 40-50%), with the highest package being 20 LPA. A few companies where placement was offered are Deloitte, ICICI Bank, Zepto, etc. The placement cell, Vriddhi, offers internships and workshops to students. They also organise an annual internship fair called Incrementum where companies like Swiggy, Amazon, Snacc, Pw offer internship opportunities for roles in HR, Business executive and more. However, a very small number of students actually got the internship opportunities from my batch.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is pretty good with all the necessities like library, computer labs, common area, and rangshala. However, there's no Wi-Fi outside the library and labs, and the network is very bad in and around the campus area. The college hostel is just behind the main campus, which offer students to stay with reasonable fee and good facilities. There are canteens like Amul, Nescafé that offer great food options. The sports ground is also pretty spacious.
Faculty: The faculty and professors are very helpful and kind. They are professional and offer mentorship and guidance to students whenever needed. The examination level is average and most students pass, leaving a very few students with back log. The curriculum, my course offers is really nice, and we get to choose from a wide pool of subjects. The papers focus on skill enhancement, value assessment, and other skills that may come up very handy further in the industry.

Decent college with a good curriculum.
Placements: I am doing B.A. (Computer Application and Maths), but there are not that many placements. But some companies come for an interview like TCS, Infosys etc. But of course, you need good skills for that, plus try to speak in English with your friend, it'll help you in future.
Infrastructure: College is nice, but not that great. If you are imagining it to be like north campus, then you're expectations will gonna fall short soon. Also, hostel is right now in construction phase, so maybe in the next 1 year it will be prepared. Canteen is nice though, but a little expensive and also sometimes taste is not up to the mark and water facilities in college are the worst in my opinion.
Faculty: Faculty members and students are both very nice, I would say everyone is so friendly there, so you can consider coming here if you want to focus on your course, but the college is very strict for attendance, you're attendance gonna count as a mark in the exam paper, so you have to come regularly. Teachers are all nice.
Other: Students are nice in my opinion and what I've heard is fests are not that great, but freshers party is nice, and you'll enjoy it, so don't worry about fun.

Experience at the South Campus of DU.
Placements: There are about 60 students in my specific course, yet about 500 in all combinations of B.A. programme degree. The lowest placement is around 1.5 LPA, and the highest in my specified course could go up to 7 LPA, I believe in 2025, and mostly medical or organisational MNCs hire from my course as their HR or assistant counsellors. About 30-40 per cent of students apply for the internship and get into it after the 3rd year or so The top roles are mostly in the field of psychology if you want it directly after 3rd year.
Infrastructure: There are 3 buildings here, 2 are pre-existing, of about 3 floors each and 1 new building that was recently finished in 2025 mid-year and is of about 7-8 floors. All of them are with lifts, and the infrastructure is good, but there are a lot of muddy ways in the rainy season. Otherwise, it's fine. There is 1 common ground of football and 1 main canteen with 2 small shops, as well as a utility area.
Faculty: The teachers are well qualified with their doctorate and Ph.D. Degrees. They are good at explaining the topics and concepts, and most teachers are sweet and well-versed in both English and Hindi. The course is relevant because of its demand, I guess. The exams are of moderate difficulty in my course, I would say. We can get help from previous year questions as well, and seniors help too.
Other: The course is in high demand, and the professional need for this course is as well. We have quite a few options while we opt for this course, hence, this course is quite flexible for what it offers, and not all universities have this course. Events here in university are great, including the selection as well and fest with cultural activities is fun.
