To apply for BBA/BMS programs at Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies (SSCBS), Delhi University (DU), the eligibility criteria typically require candidates to have passed their 12th class with at least 60% marks in aggregate from a recognized board. Your overall score of 68% meets this requirement.


However, your 38 marks in Mathematics might be a concern. In most cases, SSCBS expects students to have studied Mathematics or Business Mathematics in 12th grade, but they don't always specify a minimum score in Mathematics for eligibility. The specific cut-off marks for admission may vary from year to year, and admissions are also based on entrance exams like the Common University Entrance Test (CUET).


Since you have passed 12th with the required aggregate percentage, you should still be eligible to apply. It’s recommended to focus on preparing for the CUET exam as your entrance score will play a significant role in determining your admission chances.


Additionally, I advise checking the official SSCBS or DU admission guidelines for the latest criteria and confirming whether there are any specific conditions related to your Mathematics score for the 2024 admission cycle.

If you are in your last year of a BA program at DU SOL and considering admission to the BCA program at YMCA Faridabad, there are a few important factors to consider.


1. **Eligibility Criteria**: Typically, universities have specific eligibility criteria for admissions, especially for undergraduate courses. Since you’re transitioning from a BA to a BCA, ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements set by YMCA Faridabad.

2. **Admission Process**: If you apply without informing DU SOL about your new admission, it could lead to complications. Many universities require candidates to submit proof of their previous education and may inquire about your current enrollment status. If they find out you are still enrolled elsewhere, it could result in problems such as cancellation of your new admission or issues during document verification.

3. **Communication with Both Institutions**: It’s advisable to communicate with both DU SOL and YMCA Faridabad. Confirm the implications of pursuing two courses simultaneously, as some universities may have policies against it.

In summary, while you may apply to YMCA Faridabad, transparency is crucial to avoid future complications. It’s always best to follow the official procedures to ensure a smooth transition.

However, you can apply for a migration after completing the first year if the destination college is also under DU, subject to seat availability and eligibility. For other universities, migration rules may vary, so check with the specific institution you're considering.
