Top Colleges of DU

The University of Delhi receives approximately 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 be wise while mapping their subjects and 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. 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.

This tie-breaker rule makes the DU 2025 admission process even more interesting. This is not only in the cases of top colleges of DU but in the entire DU UG admission process to any of the constituent colleges. A better score (both in Boards and CUET UG) will improve the chances of any student securing a seat in the top colleges of DU.
