The DU application form for UG programmes will be released on August 2. The admission to UG programmes is done based on the marks scored by candidates in the Class 12 examination. Getting admission to Delhi University and its affiliated colleges is very tough as the admission committee only releases six- seven DU cutoff lists. Another factor is that the cutoff for every programme is set at a very high standard of marks.

However, candidates who failed to qualify the DU cutoff can still have a chance for admission. In cases where all the cutoff lists have been released and few college seats remain vacant. The university releases a spot admission notice mentioning the vacant seats in their respective category and combined rank which candidates must have to be eligible for Delhi University spot admission. To fill these vacant seats, a spot round admission will be conducted. The number of vacants seats differs for every category.

It is highly unlikely you will get admission into the LLM program at the Delhi University Faculty of Law with a CUET score of 89. the expected cut-off for the general category is between 190-210, and for reserved categories, it's lower but still significantly above 89 according to past years cutoff trends.


CUET PG is a competitive exam:

The Common University Entrance Test (PG) is used for admission to postgraduate programs at participating universities, including the Delhi University.

LLM program is selective:

The LLM program at the DU Faculty of Law is highly sought after, leading to competitive cut-offs.

Your score is significantly below average:

A score of 89 is considerably below the expected cut-offs for most categories, making admission unlikely.

To gain admission to a B.Tech program in Artificial Intelligence (AI) at Delhi University (DU), a student needs to score at least 60% in the Class 12 board exams, with a strong focus on Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM). Additionally, for B.Tech programs at DU, candidates must have appeared in JEE (Main) Paper-I.

CUET:

Some DU programs, including B.Tech, may also accept CUET scores for admission, especially for colleges affiliated with DU.

IITs and NITs:

For competitive AI programs, aiming for a high JEE Main score (around 90 percentile or higher) can significantly increase your chances of getting into IITs or NITs.
