What is the admission process in Delhi university (B.Sc)?
Delhi University has an elaborate admission procedure. The various steps are:
-
DU has no option for offline admission. You need to first fill out an online application. You will be asked to fill in the courses you are seeking and the marks you obtained in your board exams.
-
Wait for the cutoffs. For BSc, cutoffs are calculated as follows
| Subject | Cutoff Determined By |
| Physics, Chemistry, Zoology, Botany, etc | PC & M/B |
| Mathematical Sciences, Computer Science, Mathematics and Statistics | Aggregate of marks in mathematics, one language subject and two best elective subjects. |
| BSc pass courses | Aggregate of PCM |
-
The cutoff list is released shortly on its official website or even in newspapers. Check the college under which’s cutoff you fall and proceed to get admission.
-
log in to the admission portal and select the college/program where you wish to take admission and meet the desired cutoff.
-
After getting the printout of the admission form, visit your college and get your documents verified. Fill out any additional forms and attach essential documents.
-
The college will then approve your admission on the UG admission portal
-
Log in to the UG admission portal to make the online admission fee payment through the available online payment options.
Chances are you could not get into the desired college. In this case, you can wait for subsequent lists as DU releases 5 cutoffs. You can then follow the same procedure from step 4.
Is it possible to get more than 70% marks in DU SOL?
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.
-
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%.
-
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.
-
Attempt the paper well: When I say attempt the paper well, I also mean make it presentable. Neat handwriting and diagrams never go unnoticed.
-
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.
-
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.
Delhi University Vs Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University. Which one is better? Also comparing the standards of the crowd in these Universities.
It’s normal for you to get confused between DU and IPU. Both are well-reputed universities with high cutoffs. Choosing one of them can be made easy if you go through these differences:
-
Colleges: DU colleges are famous for their high cutoffs. If you have scored 97 and above you will surely get admission to an A-grade college. But anything below 97 (even a 95) will send you to a B-grade college. So it’s better to study in an A-grade college at IPU than in a B-grade college of DU.
-
Admission criteria: At DU, admissions are based on board exams, whereas at IPU you will have to give a CET (Common Entrance Test).
-
Internships: All the universities recommend internships but IPU has made it compulsory. These internships not only build your CV but might also give you full-time jobs.
-
Freelancing: At IPU most students prefer freelancing or part-time jobs to support their profession. The classes end early around 1 pm. Whereas in DU the timings of the classes vary a lot due to which you cannot spare time for freelancing much.
-
Fees: Pursuing a professional course at IPU will cost you more than that at DU. This is because of its excellent infrastructure and facilities.
-
Specialisation: DU is well known for its theoretical subjects like English, History, and Geography. Whereas IPU specializes in vocational courses like B. Tech, Journalism and Mass Communication, BBA, BCA, and MBA.
These points stand to prove that IPU is a better option if you are pursuing a professional course.

Which is India's top university, Delhi University or JNU?
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.
What are the future prospects of getting a BSc degree from DU? What are the best colleges in DU?
In today's world, getting a bachelor's degree from any college isn't worth much.
DU has a brand name, but if your overall grades aren't good enough, having a degree from Delhi University is pointless.
By providing many resources and an intellectual environment, Delhi University will assist you in exploring various aspects of your personality.
However, if you have a bachelor's degree in any of the Science subjects or even Mathematics, you will need to do a master's or even a PhD to get a decent-paying job.
However, if you are an SRCC or Stephens graduate, you may be able to get a good placement from the college itself if you have a degree in Arts or Commerce with above-average marks.
The best colleges vary depending on your subject, such as SRCC for those interested in commerce. Stephen's is also regarded as one of the most prestigious universities. Other good colleges include Miranda House, Hindu, and Lady Shri Ram.
What is DUs syllabus for BA Humanities and Social Science Admission test?
To begin, one must mentally prepare to continue reading newspapers every day and attempting to comprehend editorial opinions and social issues. It would be beneficial to read some philosophy books based on your own understanding, thereby increasing your ability to think about society in terms of how well-educated people perceive women, girls, and people's difficulties. A good understanding of General Studies and your 12th-class texts from the Arts field is required.
The entrance exam is not based on math, reasoning, or English; rather, it is based on your social background, as well as your opinion and mindset. This entrance has only 20 or 30 seats. So be cautious, and good planning will ensure your success.
Which is better for M.Sc in environmental science DU or JNU?
Both Delhi University and Jawahar Lal Nehru University offer Master's degrees in Environmental Sciences. However, there is a difference in the degree offered, which is primarily due to the approach to the subject. Candidates will be enrolled in the Masters of Environmental Studies programme at Delhi University, while the Environmental Sciences programme at JNU.
The distinction is due to the approach taken in developing the curriculum. Students at Delhi University are taught the socio-economical aspects of environmental sciences in addition to developing an understanding of the subject in the context of physicochemical and biological aspects of the environment (and their interactions). Subjects taught include "social perspectives of environmental studies" and "environmental economics." There is also a Masters in Arts (MA) programme for students with a background in the humanities.
The emphasis at Delhi University is on environmental ecology, pollution sciences, and biotechnology. Remote sensing, conservation sciences, statistics, geology, and environmental impact assessment are among the subjects taught. I believe the emphasis at JNU is more on the scientific aspect of the subject (which somehow seems legitimate since the degree is being offered for Masters in Science). Furthermore, 70-80% of the curriculum is shared by both universities. Though the JNU syllabus is extensive in terms of subjects such as hydrology and the fundamental principles/technical aspects of water and pollution movement.
Does everyone pass easily at DU?
Passing at DU is contingent on the following factors:
1. Determining your course of action. It is not as simple for honors courses such as B. Com (Hons.), Economics (Hons.), and so on.
2. The student's mental capacity.
3. The student's academic focus and comprehension of subjects chosen by the student.
It would not be incorrect to say that passing the graduation level exams at Delhi University is relatively easy, but passing the postgraduate level exams is not as simple as passing the lower level exams. Yes, if you study diligently for a month before the exams, you will easily pass.
