DTU - Delhi Technological University

For admission to colleges like DTU (Delhi Technological University), NSUT (Netaji Subhas University of Technology), IIT Delhi, and IGDTUW (Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women), eligibility criteria usually require 60% aggregate in PCM (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) for general category candidates. Here's how the improvement exam for eligibility works: Do they accept improvement marksheets? Yes, these colleges do accept improvement marksheets if issued by the board from which you appeared for your class 12.Improved marks should reflect on your original marksheet and submitted along with the application form at the time of counselling. Do you need to give improvement in all 5 subjects or only PCM? In order to qualify for PCM aggregate (60%), it is not necessary to improve all 5 or 6 subjects. You can improve only those subjects that are affecting your percentage in PCM.For example, You scored poorly in Mathematics or Chemistry. Improvement in just those subjects is enough to bring your PCM average above 60%.However, the total number of attempts should not violate your board's improvement policies, which are mostly one-time improvement. Eligibility Confirmation of AdmissionDTU and NSUT: 60% PCM for General category students. You are eligible as far as your improvement marks stand.IIT Delhi: JEE Advanced: Top 20 percentile or 75% aggregate (earlier the requirement, check current JEE norms) is taken, not aggregate in each subject.IGDTUW: It is the same case like DTU and NSUT. The minimum PCM percentage should be 60% for General candidates. Important PointsTimeline for Improvement Exams:Improved mark sheet should be available before the counseling or admission deadline.Check the admission brochure for timelines specific to these universities.Validity of Improvement Marks:Improvement marks sheets are regarded as valid proof of your updated scores.They must be issued in the same year or the next immediate academic session.Board Policies:Boards like CBSE allow improvement for specific subjects without requiring all 5-6 subjects to be attempted once again.  SuggestionIf your current PCM percentage is far from 60%, consider improving all three PCM subjects. However, if the deficit is small, improvement in 1-2 subjects may suffice. Always aim for a safe buffer (above 60%) to avoid eligibility risks.Feel free to ask if you need guidance.
