DU Faculty of Arts Admissions E-Book

CUET score in the specific subject combination required for the Honours course is more important during DU seat allotment.

Yes, it’s a good score. Start your preference list with top colleges like Hindu, Miranda, Hansraj, followed by Gargi, Ramjas, and then backup options like Satyawati or Bhaskaracharya.

For BSc (Hons) in Physics, Chemistry or Mathematics in top DU colleges like Hindu College, Hansraj, Miranda House or St. Stephen's College, you should score at least 610 to 660 marks out of 750. For BSc in Life Sciences or Biological Sciences, you should score around 580 to 630 marks. For BSc Programme courses (not honours), a score of 540 to 600 marks is usually safe.

If you belong to the General category, you will need higher marks compared to reserved categories like OBC, SC, ST or EWS. Also, popular courses like Physics or Maths have higher cut-offs than less demanded subjects.

Most DU colleges now take admission through CUET exam. The cut-offs are usually based on CUET percentile, but if we convert them into marks out of 750, then a good score would be around 630 to 700 for top colleges.

Other good universities like BHU and JNU also take admission through CUET. For BSc in BHU, you may need 550 to 620 marks. For BSc-MSc integrated courses in JNU, the safe score is 600 to 670 marks. In universities like Jadavpur or Mumbai University, admission is based on 12th board marks, usually needing 80 to 90 percent.

With a CUET 2025 score of around 533 out of 750 gives you a fair chance of getting admission to Botany Honours at Delhi University under the General category. While top colleges may demand higher normalized scores, many mid-range colleges in DU have previously accepted scores in this range for Botany.

Your chances improve further if the normalization works in your favor and you fill a broad set of college preferences during the CSAS counselling. Keep an eye on official cutoffs and counselling announcements.

Hello aspirant,
Deen Dayal Upadhyay College does not offer a BBA program; instead, it provides a Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS) degree. For eligibility in BMS at DDU, candidates must have studied Mathematics (or Applied Mathematics) in Class 12. This requirement applies to all candidates, regardless of board or category. So, if you haven't taken Maths in 12th, you cannot apply for BMS at DDU. As for BBA, since DDU doesn't offer it, that option isn't available there either.

If you're keen on pursuing BBA outside DDU without Maths, some private or state-level institutions may accept students without Maths, but in Delhi University, Maths is essential for BMS admission.

If your mother’s surname is different in your 10th and 12th marksheets, it usually won’t lead to rejection in DU CSAS Phase 1. At most, the university might ask for clarification during document verification. You can resolve it by submitting a notarized affidavit stating both names refer to the same person. Just make sure the name in your application matches the one in your 10th marksheet.

That is normally how it is done.

With 50% marks in Psychology Honours from Delhi University, your chances for M.A. Psychology admission in Common College Sector-1, Panchkula are low, as most colleges prefer 55–60% or higher.

However, if you have a strong CUET-PG score (above 240), you may still have a chance. Final admission depends on cutoffs and competition.

With a CUET score of 787/1000 and OBC-NCL category, you may miss out on top DU colleges for BA Psychology (Hons.), as their cutoffs are usually higher (790–820+). But you have a good chance in mid-tier colleges like Ramanujan, Aryabhatta, Bharti (for girls), and Dyal Singh (Evening).

Fill a wide range of choices and track CSAS rounds for possible upgrades.
