Frequently Asked Questions

Q:   Is there entrance exam for BA (honours) in DU?

A: 

At the undergraduate level, the University of Delhi offers BA (Hons) across 29 specialisations out of which 23 offered merit-based admission and the remaining offered entrance-based (DUET) admission to the students till 2021. Additionally, the University also offers BA Prog. course across multiple subject combinations (across different colleges) in which admission is completely based on merit scores obtained by the students in Class 12. However, starting 2022, DU admission to all the UG courses will get conducted via CUET UG.

Q:   Does DU conduct entrance exam for BA (hons) in political science?

A: 

DU does not conduct any entrance exam for admission to BA or BA (Hons) courses. However, it accepts the scores obtained by the students in the CUET UG exam for UG admission at any affiliated college. Having said that, students can get admission to Delhi University even if they didn't apply for CUET. While the chances of getting admission will be much lower, here are some of the ways a student can get admission to Delhi University without CUET:

  1. Take a chance on the spot admission: You can try your luck at the spot admission process, which is conducted by Delhi University after the CUET results are announced. However, the number of seats available under the spot admission process is very limited, so your chances of getting admission are slim.
  2. Apply for admission through the Delhi University School of Open Learning (SOL): The Delhi University School of Open Learning (SOL) offers a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses that do not require CUET scores. However, the admission process for SOL is more competitive than the regular admission process.

Q:   Which are the most popular BA (Hons) specialisations offered by DU?

A: 

Some of the most popular BA (Hons) specialisations include BA (Hons) in Economics, BA (Hons) in English and BA (Hons) in Political Science, among others. However, the popularity and choice of the course must depend on students' interest and academic background. A list of specialisations available under BA (Hons) available at different DU affiliated colleges is as follows:
