Learn complete details about the course-wise CUET eligibility criteria for DU UG admission.
DU Course-wise Eligibility PDFDU receives approximately 5-6 lakh registrations each year on its CSAS portal for DU UG admission to merely 70,000 seats offered combinedly by 91 constituent colleges. The competition to grab a seat in any of the top colleges of DU will be unparalleled. Students must wisely map the subjects while filling out their course and college preference lists.
Also, students must be aware of the DU tiebreaker rule. The rule suggests that if there is a tie between the scores of two or more students opting for the same college and course, their class XII board marks will be considered. Initially, the best of 3 and the best of 4 & 5 will be considered subsequently. If it still remains a tie, the older student will be given the seat. This DU tie-breaker rule plays a significant role in the CUET DU admission process each year.
There are too many colleges and course options to pursue an undergraduate degree at DU. Students often struggle to understand and choose the best one for themselves. For the students' convenience, we have listed brief details regarding the DU CUET cut-off and top DU colleges in one place.
