how to calculate best four for du
Dear Student,
given below is a few pointers required for you to follow for calculating best four for DU admissions.
- Choose the subjects you wish to add in your combination of "best four". For example if you a have a couple of subjects in mind, choose any 4 subjects out of those which match to the list A and list B.
- List A is a list containing all the language subjects and List B is a list containing all the elective subjects such as, accountancy, computer science etc.
- If by any chance you do not have any subject that pertains to the subjects mentioned in the list choose any 4. Or if you have 3 subjects that pertain to the subjects mentioned in both the Lists and 2 other than those mentioned in the lists, choose 3 that are in the list and 1 another subject.
- After this, calculate your aggregate percentage.
Dear Jatin ,
I have share the processes how you would calculate your best 4 in Delhi University .
STEP 1
Choose the subjects you want to add in your combination of “best four”. For example, if you have 5 subjects, namely, Commerce, Economics, Physical Education, English, Accountancy, choose any four which match with subjects mentioned in the List A and List B.
STEP 2:
If you do not have any subjects that pertain to the subjects mentioned in both the lists, choose any 4. Or if you have 3 subjects that pertain to the subjects mentioned in both the Lists and 2 other than those mentioned in the lists, choose 3 that are in the list and 1 another subject.
STEP 3:
Calculate your aggregate percentage. For example, If you scored 98 in Commerce, 99 in English, 93 in Economics and 93 in Accounts, your aggregate percentage would be 95.75%.
In this example, all the subjects considered for the “best four combinations” are mentioned in the Lists issued by the University and you do not need to add or subtract any certain percentage.
Now, if for example, instead of the above example, you scored 99 in Physics, 98 in English, 96 in Biology and 95 in Physical Education, your aggregate percentage would be 97% (aggregate of four subjects) minus 2.5% that equals 94.5%. This is because Physical Education is not mentioned as an academic subject in List B and University has the criteria of deducting 2.5% for each subject that is not mentioned in the list.
(MUSIC AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION ARE CONSIDERED AS ACADEMIC SUBJECTS WHEN YOU ARE SEEKING ADMISSION IN BSC. PHYSICAL EDUCATION HONORS OR B.A. MUSIC HONORS)
The criteria are not that complicated. It requires a certain amount of thorough reading of the guidelines issued by the University. If you are seeking admission to an honors course in any Language and you have studied that subject as an elective one, you need to add 2% to your aggregate percentage. For example, if you are seeking admission in English Honors, and you have studied English as an elective subject, you will get a benefit of 2%. Let me clarify this with an example I used in Step 3. You scored the same marks and instead of English you scored 99 in English Elective, your aggregate percentage would then be 95.75% plus 2%, that is 97.75%. This will now be your aggregate percentage of the best four combinations. Remember that, it is compulsory to choose one language and three academic subjects for the combination of four subjects you consider.
After you are done calculating it, you need to match your aggregate percentage with the minimum eligibility requirements and viola that’s it!
I hope now your query will resolved apart from this if you have any query then feel free to share with us .
