How much percentage is required in the 12th grade to get an admission in DU?
The minimum requirement for admission to UG programmes at Delhi University is the completion of the 12th grade with a grade point average of 75% or better on the top four exam papers, including 85% in English for general applicants.
A general applicant needs at least 60% in four courses, including mathematics, whereas OBC candidates need only 54% and SC/ST candidates need passing grades.
However, the eligibility criteria and cutoffs for each course differ.
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.

Is an IGNOU degree valid for UPSC?
You will be qualified. It should be a well-known university. You can check the eligibility criteria listed below:
Academic Qualification for IAS Exams:
-
The candidate must have a degree from one of the Universities established by an Act of the Central or State Legislatures in India, or from another educational institution established by an Act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University under Section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956, or an equivalent qualification.
-
Candidates who have taken or plan to take the qualifying exam and are awaiting results are also eligible to take the Preliminary Examination. All such candidates who qualify to take the Civil Services Main Examination must submit proof of passing the said exam with their application for the Main Examination.
-
In exceptional cases, the UPSC may treat a candidate who lacks the aforementioned requisite qualification as an eligible candidate if he or she has passed an examination administered by another institution, the standard of which, in the Commission's opinion, justifies his or her admission.
-
Candidates with professional and technical qualifications that the government recognizes as equivalent to professional and technical degrees.
-
Candidates who have completed the final year of their MBBS or any other Medical Examination but have yet to complete their internship can also sit for the Main Examination. They must, however, submit a certificate from the University / Institution's concerned authority confirming that they passed the final professional medical examination along with their Main Examination application.
At the interview stage, they must then produce a certificate from a competent authority stating that they have completed all of the requirements for the award of the Medical Degree (including internship).
Am I eligible for a government job after doing graduation from IGNOU distance education?
IGNOU is a reputable and accredited government distance learning university. It has been approved by both the UGC and the AICTE. So there is no doubt about the validity of IGNOU degrees now or in the future.
The second point to consider is Distance Education. Yes, degrees from open universities are not accepted for all types of jobs or vacancies. Approximately 10-15 years ago, the majority of government jobs required regular courses. This trend is currently changing.
IGNOU degrees are accepted in both cases. However, there are still very few government or private companies, such as TCS, that do not consider candidates from distance education. Because they are in short supply, you will have no trouble finding a job with an IGNOU degree. It also depends on the degree to some extent. Regular engineering or B.Ed degrees are still considered superior to distance degrees. Distance or regular mode courses such as BSc, Bcom, or BA are nearly equivalent.
In a nutshell, an IGNOU degree qualifies for the majority of government jobs.

In such a case, he/she can choose to pay the extra fee which is called the Paid seat system. These seats are available up to 5-10 seats in all courses and are reserved as paid seats. This is for those students who got a good rank but missed the campus seat with a very less difference in index.
Procedure
- Fill in the paid seat form online or during the counseling process. Paid seats are available both for the main campus and affiliated colleges.
- Your chances of getting the paid seats to work on the number of available seats and your index rank. For instance, if the cutoff is 280, and your marks are in the range of 270-279 you can secure your admission to the campus.

Is there a possibility to not receive a call from IIM A/B/C, even after scoring 100 percentile in CAT?
Yes, there is a chance that you may not receive a call from IIM even after scoring 100 percentile in CAT. However, this happens only for IIM Bangalore.
You will receive a call from IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta because they choose the top 50 percentilers. But IIM Bangalore has an unknown logarithm for the admission process. I think it focuses too much on academics.
