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).

On B.A. Admissions

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. In addition to the affiliated college, BA course fee is also dependent on the specialisation selected by the student for the same. This information is sourced from official website/ sanctioning body and is subject to change. Hence, is indicative.

In reality, the total fee that a student is required to pay is much higher than 540 Indian Rupees. This is because there are other fee components which are charged by DU colleges which include application fee, development charges, exam fee and other components.

The below table mentions the BA Hons/ BA fee for the top 5 popular DU colleges:

College NameBA (Hons) SpecialisationsFee Range
Hindu CollegeEnglish, Hindi, Economics +more specialisationsINR 52,680 - INR 52,770

NOTE: The mentioned fee is as per the official website/sanctioning body. It is subject to changes, hence, is indicative.

More details on the same must be obtained by the students from the admission office of the DU affiliated college a student is interested to get into.

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.

Placements: I am currently pursuing a Mathematics Honours degree at Shivaji College (Delhi University). Last year, 50% of our batch from the 3rd year were placed. Most of the big companies like Deloitte and TCS visit our college for recruitment.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of our college is restful. The buildings and classrooms are well-maintained. Library is one of the best places to study.

The quality of the food is good and the menu has a variety of food. The overall atmosphere is commodious.
Faculty: Teachers are hospitable and obliging. They guide us until we perfectly understand the concepts. Course curriculum helps students to be industry-ready using certain case studies. Semester exams give us an idea of our progress, it consists of the previous year's papers and tests conducted during classes.
Other: Mathematics Honours was not on my list. After researching about the course, I got to know more about the job opportunities, and then I decided to pursue it.

In my course, the majority of students are preparing for government jobs, so they have no choice but to go to other companies .
Infrastructure: Infrastructure and facilities are not good. The foods are available in the canteen, which is also good. The seating arrangements are also very good but they are very dirty some times, so we need to make clean place where we are come to eat and have lunch, etc.
Faculty: Teaching is excellent and most classes are running regularly. There is not much doubt in the teachers teachings. The professors are giving us study material so we are studying with our free minds.

A real college review of Delhi College of Arts and Commerce.
Placements: There are not that many placements in my course, but some placements are very decent. The highest salary package offered is 9LPA and the lowest salary package offered is 4LPA. I think 18% of students from my course have done internships in various private as well as government startups. In my course many roles are offered like the role of a negotiator, role of a magistrate, and role in executive branch, both in political and permanent criteria.
Infrastructure: Our college infrastructure is quite average because it lacks in terms of infrastructure. There are no air-conditioned classrooms but if we talk about library it is fully digitized and air-conditioned with all resource books available for all the courses offered by college. The quality got better recently otherwise in previous times it is very bad. The food here is eatable and tasty but there is an issue of hygiene. Our college also offers practice sessions for serious athletes who want to pursue career in sports.
Faculty: Faculty members here are very supportive except for some teachers. All faculty members are helpful and they teach their respective subjects very passionately which can be seen in the report cards of students. This course curriculum is not relevant and it doesn't make students industry-ready, but it does make a student ready to crack competitive exams. Semester exams are not that difficult. Students score well because we have to pass the criteria of 40% in every subject for example one paper is 160 marks then students need to score 64.
Other: I chose this course because I want to make a career in civil services so it gives me certain knowledge about politics and policies. The things that should be improved are just that teachers should give more assignments to students for a crystal clear understanding of concepts. Events are very low in college because of small infrastructure. But, societies of the college make college life quite interesting.

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.
