So, to enter into Delhi university we need to give CUET exam. I gave that too . Different courses have different eligibility criteria . Then you are asked to fillup the counselling session and make your prefrence sheets ranking different colleges of the university. The students with higher marks got there preffered colleges first. There are 3 counselling rounds and a spot round for the students who don't get seat in any of the rounds. North campus comes at good ranking then the south campus and then the off campus. The eligibility criteria for Bcom is very simple you have to opt for english , general test and any of two from accountancy, business studies , economics in the CUET exam and if you want to applu for Honours course and Maths become necessary. I also gave IPCET exam thats for IPU university which is a semi goverment university. I too got selected there but since DU was completely goverment I opted for that. Also I gave IPMAT exam but didn't got through as the exam din't went well and the cut off was too very high. Rest every private university will give you admission so if I didn't got into any of them private university was my backup option.

I applied for two more colleges in my hometown but they were not good as my maitreyi college. Basically we can say the main reasons for choosing this college are Academic programs, Research opportunities, campus life, Ranking etc. Overall everything was wonderful when comparing to the other two colleges I applied. I didn't applied any other college where I got rejection. As I already mentioned about the colleges I applied I got selected in both but didn't want to continue in them so choose maitreyi college. So basically admission process was so easy and mine was based on cut off. I secured good marks in my Senior Secondary class so i got admission easily. And after that we have to submit our documents online on official mail of college. After 10 days official process are completed and orientation and classes started. Now everything is change you have to clear CUET entrance exam and then you have to go for counselling and you got selected and all these. But I can surely say mine was so easy.

To get good college the cutoff will be 93-99 out of 100 based on CUET score. And the most important thing is you need to have patience because it has so long procedure .

I applied to GGSIP University and filled the entrance exam CUET. One can get admission in Delhi University by giving the CUET exam. After giving cuet, we have to apply on the CSAS portal that is of Delhi University. It then conducts various rounds of admission process and students are allotted colleges according to their preference sheets and marks scored in CUET exam. In IP University I got rank 382(out of 15000) for BBA where I was given admission according to my preference, in VIPS college. Though I kept Delhi University as my first choice. And since BMS is a professional course I decided to take up this college, SRCASW( NIRF ranking 32) Also I wanted to stay in Delhi so didn't sign up for colleges in other states. The best college for BMS is considered to be Shaheed Sukhdev college of business students. It has a very high cut off and thus remains a Dream for many students. It also offers a course BBA(FIA) that is also provided by SRCASW. But since it's a women's college, it's not available to everyone.

I had kept Hindu, hansraj and Kirori Mal above Venky in my cuet preference in discipline of Mathematics. And I got Venky in First Round. But I had accepted this preference and not applied for Up gradation. However if I had upgraded I must have got some college of North Campus But I didn't. The reason for this lies in the aura of this college. As I have researched and found that it is best college of South Campus and has a great faculty of Mathematics. Also the location of college is in prime location which makes travelling easy. Also I have heard lot about of societies in this college. These are reason for choosing this college. I have a good cuet score may be I can got a college of North. Only reason for keeping other colleges above Venky is that all other are North Campus Colleges, you can call it a obsession with North campus. The Admission procedure for our college is just same like that all other colleges that is on the basis of cuet score. You have to score around 600 to get into merit list ( figures may vary for reserved categories) . The most preferred course of our college is Bsc, and Boom. Overall the admission process is good and quite supportive. They help students in all way they can during admission and even during verification.

DU: 20 Answered Questions

Which is India's top university, Delhi University or JNU?

Apoorva Bali
Gaurav SinghUndergrad student is at University

There is a stark difference between both universities in terms of culture as well as fees. JNU or Jawaharlal Nehru University is mostly about expression, literature, culture, research, and building intellectual facilities whereas DU is all about glamor, fashion, fests, high cutoffs, and placements.

In financial terms, JNU is much more affordable than DU. Be it course fees or hostel fees, JNU cuts down on expenses a lot.

JNU is learning for life, whereas DU focuses on learning the bare essentials and getting placed in a reputed firm.

One more significant difference to consider is that JNU is more about post-graduation whereas DU focuses more on graduation. The difference in intellectual level stems from the same reason.

If you are still confused between the two, spend equal time on both campuses and you will get the answer soon.

When do we get original degree from Delhi university?

Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi

Delhi University is a highly prestigious institute offering premium education to its students. Every student completing his or her studies from here is awarded a degree certificate. This certificate is issued by the university and is an official recognition of the student’s educational qualification.

However, it's crucial that a student procures his/her original degree certificate from the university as it plays a big role in the admission process of higher studies as well as jobs and other opportunities.

The availability of this degree depends on the course and the duration of the course.UG students usually receive their original degree certificate within 3 months of the completion of the course.

You can check the same by going to SOL and ask someone from their administration department. Sometimes it may take a year or more to get the original degree from Delhi University.

Can Physical Education be included in the calculation of percentage of Best Four Subjects in Delhi University for B.A programming?

Arpita GargStudied Bachelor of Commerce with Honours at University of Delhi (2019)

Yes, physical education can be included while calculating your best four for Delhi University but it has a disadvantage of 2.5%.

This means that 2.5% will be deducted from the total percentage of your best four subjects. This calculation of the best four is different for every course and very few colleges have a different method of selecting the best four and that is also limited to some special courses.

Apart from this, all the colleges have a similar procedure for the best four calculations. Delhi University releases an admission bulletin every year and you can consult it for better understanding.

How was your first day in DU?

Satyam Purwar
SagardeepBsc life sciences from University of Delhi (Graduated 2021)

One of the students of DU shared her experience by explaining that the orientation day was the first day of lectures. When everyone arrived in the designated room, their faculty was there to greet them. She witnessed a lot of strange faces. Fortunately, she had her roommate to chat with because she was also a classmate. Lecturers treated them extremely well. Then everyone began introducing themselves.

The first person to start was their HOD. Her remarks brightened their day. They were on edge because of how seriously she began but gradually calmed them down with her humble words. She shared her beliefs with us and gave them a verbal tour of the campus. She then requested an introduction from each of the students. At the end of the orientation, she wished them luck. 

The rest of the day was spent lying in bed, talking on the phone, and doing nothing. After three weeks, proper classes began. By the fifth week, the books had been recommended. DU released the date sheet just as the students finished one chapter. It was a completely new experience for her, but it was well worth it, as she says it.

How do I convert SGPA to percentage under the new CBCS rules at DU?

Sapna Malik updated
Harsh RanjanBachelors in Economics from University of Delhi (Graduated 2018)

There has been considerable confusion in Delhi University's grading system for a long time. The university proposed multiple adjustments before a proper method was finally implemented and made public. The SGPA calculator is used in the educational field to translate SGPA to percentage. The calculations are based on the student's overall performance on the corresponding semester exam in general courses. 

To convert SGPA into a percentage, the following steps are being followed by the students:

  • The SGPA for each semester should be determined first.

  • Adding the semester-by-semester averages once you get them.

  • Subtracting the number of semesters you have taught from the total of the SGPAs.

  • Finally, calculate your SGPA by multiplying it by 10, then take 7.5 out of the result. 

The CBCS System used at DU is Relative Grading rather than Absolute Grading.

Is it possible to get more than 70% marks in DU SOL?

Pawan KumarB.A. from University of Delhi

Yes, it’s very much possible to attain more than 70% marks in DU SOL. My brother was lucky enough to score 71.1% in his second year of B.Com.(Hons). He mentioned a few simple strategies that helped him get good marks.

  1. Set your target: The very first step has to be to fix a target. In my brother's case, he set his target at 75%.

  2. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses: Focus more on the subjects you are well versed in. Compensate the marks you will lose in the subjects you are below average at with the marks you will get in subjects you are good at.

  3. Attempt the paper well: When I say attempt the paper well, I also mean make it presentable. Neat handwriting and diagrams never go unnoticed.

  4. Additional guidance: Getting tuition for subjects you are weak at is better than mugging up the concept. These classes are available near North and South Campus. 

  5. Consistency is the key: Leaving the entire syllabus for a few days before the exams is not a good option. Study regularly, even if for just a few hours. You will see amazing results.

Adopting all these strategies, my brother got 71.1%. So I don’t think it’s difficult to score above 70% in DU SOL.

Raktim Tarafdar
Gauri Raostudied B.A. Prog in Economics and Political Science, University of Delhi (2021)

With the presence of like-minded people, Delhi University offers the best exposure on campus. You will be interacting with experts from various fields and you should make the most of it. 

It is important to keep yourself updated with current affairs. Do not bulk things up and start studying on a daily basis. You can focus fully on UPSC preparation as DU gives less attention to attendance.

The syllabus for UPSC requires a basic knowledge of topics from History, Economics, Political Science, Environmental Science. For this, the best suitable program will be BA Programme to study at DU.

If you have enrolled in any other subject, then you should start studying topics from NCERT and current affairs. Apart from this, joining a coaching institute will always be an option but self-study is more important.

How is the life of PG residents of DELHI university colleges namely MAMC, LHMC and UCMS?

Sayantani Barman
Raktim Tarafdar

The life of a PG resident of Delhi University colleges like MAMC, LHMC, and UCMS depends on the steam they belong to. For instance, LHMC OB-GYN and Paediatrics have the highest workload while the rest of the streams have relatively lesser workload. 

Almost every stream has an equally high workload in MAMC be it Medicine, Surgery, Gyn, or Paediatrics. The heavy workload teaches the students to push their limits to achieve their goals. It trains them better and also imparts knowledge. Most MAMC graduates can handle any case confidently which even some consultants with an experience of more than 20 years find difficult to manage. UCMS on the other hand offers a moderate workload for all streams.

So, choosing MAMC will give you an all-rounded experience where you will gain maximum knowledge and experience. LHMC is a great choice if you are specifically interested in OB-GYN or Paediatrics only.
