Are you dreading Delhi University's cut offs this season?

Based on last season’s cut offs, it seems scoring 99.9% is not enough to get admission into the best colleges of the University of Delhi. Soaring cut offs has made the university out of bounds for many aspirants. Is there a need to modify the process of admission and the algorhythm to decide cut off

@||Kamaraju Pulugurtha|| ,well said Sir.keeping the topicality of the course in mind is also important.For instance, if not Literature,a student can look forward to Mass Communications and can make use of his/her effective writing or communication skills.

I find that many students figuring in our discussion are highly opinionated in regards to their study.If they don't get a particular combination, they should think of something else as an alternative as is suggested rightly by NSJ.But, will they go in for something available?For example, if one does

I would agree with @||NSJ|| as students should be prepared with the other suitable alternative, if they don't get their desired stream So the most talked about DU streams are B.Com hons, Maths hons. Eco hons. English Hons., History hons., Pol Science hons., So now the question is which would be the

Recently I came to know that CVS which is under DU offers Vocational courses and admissions are usually done through entrance exams. I feel that many students don't know about such courses and colleges of DU as they are busy chasing the colleges with cutoffs! Apart from CVS, one more college that

I really do not understand that how can only student scoring 99.99 % in 12th class deserves to study in Delhi university. Due to such impossible high cut offs this has created a sort of discrimination and harrassment of a type. Why only the most intelligent and brilliant students deserve to study at

Sorry for the late reply. But after reading the expertised inputs of our worthy experts like @||Prof Garain PhD|| , @||Aneeket|| and others, I'd say that our examination system surely does have loopholes which are need to be identified and removed. We can have tests like criterion or non-academic ac

After going through all the above comments and the valuable suggestions, it suddenly struck me about the vocational courses offered by DU through regular and distance/correspondence mode? Such as CVS offers a course on travel and tourism and admissions to such courses are done through entrance exams

Firstly Examination pattern for Secondary and senior secondary classes have to be modified... The students get 99 or 100 marks in languages, how it can be possible??? Making stress free examination does not mean giving marks recklessly Secondly DU being a central university can conduct entrance exa

@NSJ pleasure to engage in a healthy discussion with you. To answer you, top scorers will definitely raise the esteem of mid-repute college but not the standard because standard is raised by academia, faculty and curriculum. Classical example in this regard are Government autonomous engineering coll

Thank you @||Aneeket|| @||Manmeet Kaur50173|| for the invite. I agree with Govind_S. But i also say, handling lots of aptitudes & interviews might not be possible for universities like DU. I think the current procedure is correct relative to the virtual one. Now for dreading from DU's cut off, i wou

Unfortunately the current entrance system is a process of rejection, rather a process of selection. The students who finally find a birth need not necessarily be the right person to succeed in that stream. Similarly, those, who do not succeed in getting admission at times shine more in career.

@Nikhlesh Mathur. respected Nikhlesh ji, I hope you have not taken any thing personal. Further with the discussion, you have further strengthen my argument by questioning an education system which produces 100 percenters in mass. I agree with your comment, but currently we are not discussing that bu
