Yes, you can opt for Geography as a domain subject in CUET 2026 even if you didn’t study it in 12th grade. NTA allows candidates to choose any of the available domain subjects.

However, Delhi University (DU) may have specific subject prerequisites for certain courses, so check the course requirements carefully.

Programs like B.A. (Hons.) Geography typically require Geography as a domain subject.

Next steps:

  1. Review DU’s official CUET subject combination list to confirm eligibility.

  2. Prepare using NCERT textbooks and recommended materials.

  3. Stay updated with NTA and DU announcements for any changes.

Hello Yamini!

The fill correct subject mapping error usually occurs when the subjects you have entered do not align exactly with the options or combinations expected by the counselling portal. For DU NCET counselling, the system is quite particular subject names in your marksheet must be selected exactly as they appear in the drop-down list during form filling. Sometimes, certain browsers or devices may not display the drop-down properly, which is why you see no subject option. Try using a laptop instead of a phone, clear cache, or switch to a different browser like Chrome . If the issue continues, contact the official helpline or DU’s NCET counselling support via email or phone—they can reset or correct your mapping. Avoid submitting the form with wrong mapping as it may affect eligibility.

Thank you.

Hello Devansh,

Yes, you can take CUET-PG with an active backlog since eligibility is generally having passed a qualifying degree before the admission. But, universities like DU require you to clear all the backlog and submit all final results by a particular deadline (most likely late July).  If your result of the 6th semester is delayed and beyond that timeout, then it may jeopardize your admission, as some systems like IIT JAM admissions close around that same time.

BVoc Banking is a vocational course and not all DU colleges follow the same syllabus. However, for 1st semester, core topics generally include Principles of Banking, Basics of Accounting, and Communication Skills. Notes can be found through DU college portals, student forums, or your professors. Request help from seniors if study material is not available online.


Hi,

To join the MCA program at DU, you need to appear for the CUET-PG entrance exam. DU has stopped its own entrance test and now follows the CUET-PG for all PG admissions.

Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Eligibility: You must have a bachelor’s degree like BCA, B.Sc. (CS), or any degree with Mathematics as one subject in 12th or graduation.

2. Apply for CUET-PG when applications are open usually around March-April.

3. Exam: The CUET-PG exam includes topics like computer fundamentals, logic, mathematics, and reasoning.

4. Result and Counselling: After results are out, DU releases a merit list. If your rank is good, you’ll be invited for counselling. You must upload your documents and choose your preferred college.

After getting a seat, pay the fees and complete the admission formalities. Make sure you meet the eligibility and prepare well for CUET-PG to improve your chances.

Wishing you all the best!
