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:   What is the eligibility criteria for the BSc course at University of Delhi?

A:

The eligibility criteria for pursuing BSc from DU is as follows:

Hence, candidates are advised to check the eligibility criteria of the specific college and course in DU UG Information Bulletin available on the official website.

Try to perform well in accepted entrance exams such as JEE Main,  CUET, and others. Students can also try contacting the university for any admission possibility with this perecentage.
