Candidates need to pass Class 12 with required domain subjects such as Mathematics or Accountancy alongside a language and two other domains.

Can I apply to a DU college in the second cut off even if I was eligible for the first cut off but did not take admission at that time?

Prerona Datta
Dev RajputStudied at University of Delhi

Yes, you can still apply for college admission. All you need to do is bring all necessary documents, but keep in mind that you will be marked as a Defaulter (a Defaulter student fails to appear in the previous cut-off when he was meeting the requirements). 

According to University Regulations, a defaulter can only take admission on the third day of that particular cut-off.

You should go to the college where you want to enroll on the first day and follow the admissions procedure. You are suggested not to tell any teacher about the same because teachers sometimes forget to check if students are defaulters or not. If anyone gets to know, then you will have to come back again on the third day of admission.

Can I get admission in DU with 85?

Sushil Pandey
Zoya MallikStudied at University of Delhi

Depending on the course and the number of applications, each college at DU has its cut-off. This cut-off is also different for each student category. SC, ST, OBC, and PWD candidates generally have lower cut-offs than general category students. There is also an option for students who excel in sports and extracurricular activities to get a break from the cut-off. 

The first step is to complete the Admission form, which is available both online and offline on the official website. The dates for the cut-offs will also be announced on the same website. You can see if you pass the cutoff based on your score on the board. Most colleges accept the best of four scores with English as a mandatory subject, and subjects such as Physical Education are not considered. If you see that you meet the cut-off for a specific college, it is a good idea to check the college's website to see if they have any additional eligibility criteria. If you meet all of the requirements, you must report to the college within the next two days. The college may have its form that you must fill out and submit along with a few documents for verification. 

The documents would have to include- 

  • Mark Sheets for Grades 10 and 12 (Get them attested by your school principal or a gazetted officer)

  • School character certificate 

  • Birth certificate 

  • SC/ST/OBC/PWD certificate if you fall into any of the categories

  • Certificates of proof for your ECA and sports if you want to take advantage of the cut-off relaxation.

After the verification is finished, you must pay the fees and receive a receipt confirming your admission.

What is the format for a character certificate for admission in DU issued from a gazetted officer? Should I take a printout of it or manually write it?

Saher ZehraStudied at University of Delhi

The character certificate is issued by the most recent institute you attended, in this case, your school. You should visit your school and request the administration a character certificate for yourself. 

The school is responsible for making sure that you get your character certificate. It would be suggestive that you collect all the original documents from the school along with the character certificate.

Girish Singh
Mamta DubeyStudied B.Com at University of Delhi

Delhi University began accepting applications for phase II of the DU UG admission 2022. The dates for the DU First Admission List 2022 will be released.

What if I get into a low ranked DU college?

Pragya TripathiBA(Hons)Political science from University of Delhi (Graduated 2021)

Getting admission to DU is a big deal. You should not feel apathetic and discouraged even if you do not get a top-ranked college. Every college of DU has an equal value when you get the degree. The faculties are cooperative and supportive. They are always ready to help the students. 

The only major differences are the infrastructure and the surrounding. Simplicity and Uniformity are observed in everyone studying or teaching at DU. Being one among the 2.5k applicants to be accepted into a DU college is something to be proud of. Be content with what you currently have, explore opportunities, and ask your seniors for assistance if necessary. 

"Getting into a good college" is an exaggerated and superficial concept and sincere courtesy goes to the media. Every DU college follows the same teaching standards.

It is a fact that everything happens for a reason. On Facebook, there was a post titled "Humans of SRCC" in which a few students expressed their thoughts and issues they had encountered at the college. They claim that they do not fit in at SRCC's fast-paced environment and that they feel isolated at times.

So, rather than regretting or overthinking what fate has in store for them, one should always accept it with grace and satisfaction.
