Can I get admission in DU with 85?
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 procedure of admission in DU?
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. In conjunction with the launch of the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal, the university made the DU 2022 application form available for DU 2022 admission in UG programmes.
Candidates who have taken the CUET exam can submit their DU application form for admission to DU in 2022. By visiting the Delhi University website, applicants could complete and submit the DU NCWEB application form 2022. For DU 2022 admission through the DU CSAS, there will be three steps:
-
Submitting the DU CSAS 2022 application form.
-
Choosing your programmes and entering your preferences.
-
DU seat allocation and admission.
The second stage of the CSAS procedure for DU admission 2022 will require CUET scores after the CUET results have been released. Selecting the programmes for which they want to apply for admission is a requirement for students. They will need to verify the CUET UG merit results for every programme they have chosen. The third phase will then release a merit list on which seats will be distributed.
15% of the weight for the marks will be set by the institutions, and 85% of the weight for the CUET 2022 results will be given to applicants for admission to Delhi University minority colleges. Delhi University colleges will be electronically centrally counseled in three rounds following the CUET entrance exam.
Nearly 70,000 UG seats will be filled through the DU 2022 admissions process. Delhi University recently declared that a tie-breaking criterion will be utilized for DU admission in the situation where two or more students receive the same scores.
Do we get migration certificate in Delhi University?
Yes, you get your migration certificate after the completion of your degree. But colleges don’t provide you with it. Right after completion, colleges only give you your:
- Character Certificate

The final degree certificate is handed over after around 1-2 years.
To get your Migration Certificate, you are required to fill out a form. This form can be obtained from your college or from V.C. Office. Get it attested by your college and submit it to the examination department of Delhi University.
Duration: 1 week
Fees: INR 500
Note- students at the South campus are to apply for a migration certificate at the D.U’s examination department in the South campus. The rest have to apply at the examination dept. at the V.C office on the North campus.
When do we get original degree from Delhi university?
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.
What are the best colleges in Delhi University?
Every college affiliated with Delhi University offers premium education. It’s difficult to say which is the best. Yet I have made a list of top 10 colleges based on the cutoffs, results, and infrastructure.
- SRCC- SRCC or Shri Ram College of Commerce is well known for its Economic Hons. Apart from imparting the best education in commerce, it also conducts excellent placement drives.
- Hindu College- This college is best known for its Mathematics Hons. In fact it’s a good college for all science courses.
- St. Stephen College- This college does not follow DU Admission procedure but has one of its own. This college is also good for science courses
- Ramjas College- This is the best college for History Hons. Well known for its sports team, Ramjas College has connections with some foreign universities.
- Miranda House- In 2017, this college ranked 1st by the Ministry of Human Resources and Development (MHRD). This is one of the best all-girls colleges with an active placement cell.
- Shri Venkateswara College- This college is the best in South Campus for all the courses in general.
- LSR( Lady Shri Ram College For Women)- This is a good college for both commerce and arts.
- A.N.D.C.- Established in 1991, Acharya Narendra Dev College is the youngest college of DU. It is a primary college for science.
- Hansraj College- This college is one of the largest constituent colleges of Delhi University.
- A.S.R.D.- A.S.R.D. or Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College ranked 5th by MHRD.
All these colleges have active placement cells, experienced faculty and best facilities.
What are some of the worst Delhi University colleges?
Delhi University is the most sought-after institute by students of graduation and postgraduation. Even though clearing cutoffs and securing a seat at DU is extremely challenging, certain colleges at Delhi University have failed to secure a favorable student opinion, either due to poor infrastructure, negligent faculty/ administration, or simply because of the poor neighborhood.
Some of these colleges, as suggested by a few friends of mine, are-
- Ramanujan College, Kalkaji: Poor infrastructure in terms of classrooms and especially, the canteen area
- Shaheed Rajguru College of Applied Sciences for Women
- Acharya Narendra Dev College, Kalkaji: Poor infrastructure, poor canteen facilities, poor washroom facility. Not a pleasant neighborhood. Lab facilities are below par and equipments are very old. However, the teachers are very supportive. The admin section is not very helpful and supportive towards the students
- Satyawati College
- Some other colleges include- Shyam Lal College, Shri Aurobindo College, Deshbandhu College, PGDAV, Zakir Husain Delhi College, JDMC, Bharti College, Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar College, and Aryabhatta College
This list is subjective and some of the people have even been graduated 5 or 6 years ago. Colleges at DU undergo constant improvements in terms of administration, infrastructure, academics, and so on. It depends also upon individual taste as to which college one finds good or bad.

Can Physical Education be included in the calculation of percentage of Best Four Subjects in Delhi University for B.A programming?
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?
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.
Which course is better: B. Commerce Hons or BA Economics Hons from DU?
The answer to this question will rely on your future goals, what you compassionately dream of doing, and what you believe you will truly like. However, Economics Honors from DU is one of the best courses with exceptional scope and value in the corporate world. Everyone is aware that the University of Delhi's most prestigious course is Economics Hons. Rapidly rising cutoffs provide proof of this.
Additionally, compared to other courses, it offers higher placement prospects. Nevertheless, immense power entails great responsibility. It's not the kind of subject you can get by with just one night of studying. It necessitates commitment and diligence. Additionally, it is the most challenging course the university offers. So, BA Economics is the best option for anyone who is keenly interested in the subject.
BA Economics(Hons) is DU's most difficult yet prestigious course. As a result, if you are in the unreserved category, you will need a higher percentage. Try to get a score of 90% or higher to get into DU, and 95% or higher to get into DU's good colleges. In the end, it all comes down to your score.
