DU Admission 2020: How to calculate Best of Four?

The marks of Class XII that will be provided by the candidates on their DU application form 2020 will be calculated for the ‘Best of four’ aggregate marks. In order to calculate the best of four marks, candidates must have four subjects as follows:

• 2 academic/elective subjects

• 1 language subject (can be core/elective/functional)

• 1 subject in which the admission is being sought after

For Example-

If an applicant has scored: Accountancy (90), Business Studies (92), English Core (88) and Economics (94). Total marks in four subjects are 90+92+88+94=364, Percentage is 91%.

Conclusion-

• The effective percentage for B.A. (Hons.) English is 91%

• The candidate will not be eligible for B.A. (Hons.) Economics since Maths is not studied

• B.A. (Hons.) Political Science is 91% - 2.5% = 88.5%. (Political Science is not studied & passed)

However, the process of calculating Best of four aggregate marks is different for all the different streams - Arts, Science, Commerce. But, the language subject will remain the same.
