It is very difficult to figure out the specific score that is required to get admission with low academic record. Getting admission to DFS DU already requires a high percentage so it can be said that a score above 98% will increase the chance of getting admission to the college. If a person has low academics they should also work hard for their GD and PI preparations as that is a strong deciding factor for getting admissions. Although unlike IIMs it is very much possible for people to get admission to DFS DU if they have low academics.

DFS DU doesn't offer specializations within its MBA program it only offers two distinct programs MBA Financial Management and MBA Business Economics. Placements are therefore only for finance. The highest placement was 27 lakh 60 thousand rupees while the average is of 14 lakh 55 thousand. The lowest package offered where 8 lakh 50 thousand. The top 25% of placements were 19 lakh rupees. The college wins in terms of ROI as its fees are only rupees 1 lakh.

DFS DU is known for its placement in the finance sector. 21% of students got placed in strategy and transactions, 12% in restructuring, 9% in Valuation Modeling and economics, 9% in Risk and Internal Audit, 9% in Project Risk Management, 9% in Credit Research, 7% in Model Risk and Management, 5% in Finance Operations, 5% in Structured Finance and Project Advisory, 5% in Investment Banking, 5% in Portfolio and Wealth Management and 5% in Business Analyst.
