Hello!



Looks like you want to be a student of one of the top colleges of DU.okay,so here is my one line suggestion to you



Score atleast (i repeat atleast) 98%



because you said top five colleges i am adding 6 of them which are:-



St.Stephen's College



Hindu college



Jesus and Mary college



Hansraj college



Shri Ram College of Commerce



Ramjas College

All the above college's first cutoff starts at a min of 98% and their last cutoff goes at most 96%.I know its scary but this is how it goes..I personally feel Delhi University should start conducting entrance exams for each stream.Anyway that's govt.job ,you just focus on your studies and achieve your goal.

Hope it is clear to you.

Best of luck.

Hello Sakshi,

The University of Delhi is among the toughest university to secure a seat with ever increasing cut-offs. Now, for your question of how much you should secure will depend upon the following factors :



1.Which college are you targeting?



Now, there are colleges who will be open till 88% in the 9th list versus colleges who are immediately closed after first or maximum second list at a 97%. Top colleges in Delhi University are Shree Ram College of Commerce (SCRR), St. Stephens, Lady Shree Ram College, Hindu College, Hansraj College, Jesus and Marys College, Gargi College, etc.



2. Which Course do you want to study?



According to the last couple of years, Psychology (Hons), Economics ( Hons)and BCom (Hons) have been the hot favourite of the students and percentage has seen a sharp rise. The average cut off is around 9596 % in the top colleges. Even English (Hons) is pretty high. On the other hand, the cut off for Hindi (Hons), Geography(Hons), History (Hons) Sanskrit, etc. are comparatively low. 8088% is generally the cut-off.



3. Are you aiming for an on Campus college?



Generally, the cut off for on Campus ( North Campus & South Campus) and quite high. Kalindi College, Janki Devi, Deshbandhu, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee College, Laxmi Bai College, etc. are few off-campus colleges and could be a relief for you. The cut off is generally around 9091%.



4. Are you changing your stream?



If you are from Science stream and planning to take up a program from a different stream, be ready to face a high cut off. Colleges will either keep a high percentage for you, or they will deduct a few percentages from your best of four. 25 percentage is deducted.



Dont lose hope if you dont have a 98% in your 10+2, target your dream course and try to find the alternative colleges in Delhi University itself. It is better to sacrifice a dream college, then jeoparding your course.
