For example, students who want to score 100th percentile in CUET should score between 188-200, while 99th percentile is equivalent to 789-800. Generally scores above 700 are acceptable only in top colleges in India based on previous year analysis. The CUET exam is the only selection criterion for central universities and the exam scores are decisive for securing a place in these prestigious educational institutions. Additionally, the CUET eligibility requirements require candidates to score a minimum of 50% qualifying marks in the class 12 exams for general candidates and 45% for reserved classes.

CUET is scored out of 800, and the exam comprises multiple-choice questions. The highest cut-off marks for DU admissions typically fall between 650-700. For admission to the B.Com (Hons) course, a score above 700 is considered good. For admission to the English (Hons) course, a score above 700-720 is considered good.

Q:   What CUET score is required to take admission in Delhi University?

A:

Most programs require a minimum score of 60% or higher on the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) in order to get admission to Delhi University (DU). In particular, a minimum CUET score of 480 out of a possible 800 is required to get admitted. Although the university takes into account a number of variables throughout the selection process, including extracurricular activities, academic background, and personal statement, reaching this minimal score criterion does not guarantee admission. While the minimum CUET score for each college, subject, and student category may differ, it is generally recommended to strive for a score in the 650–700 range for many DU courses.

  2. Research and Professional Practices (RPC): This evaluates the research output, quality of research, and the extent of industry collaboration and professional practices.

  3. Graduation Outcomes (GO): This measures the success rate of students in terms of their employability, higher studies, and other achievements post-graduation.

  4. Outreach and Inclusivity (OI): This parameter looks at the institution's efforts towards providing inclusive education and outreach to diverse communities.

  5. Perception (PR): This involves the institutional reputation as perceived by academics, employers, and the general public.
