Hello Aspirant,

First of all let me make you clear how the Best four marks are calculated for admissions :-


-->> Marks one language and three academic/elective subjects are taken into consideration.

-->> The three academic/elective subject includes -

** One subject in which admission is sought.

** If you don't mention the same subject in your best 4 in which admission is sought then a disadvantage of 2.5% will be applicable, for admissions in Honours programme.

-->> Two academic/ elective subjects from List A* and in case you do not include the two subjects in best 4 from List A* then you will get -2.5% on your total best 4 percentage.

-->> The subjects included in the calculation of ‘Best of Four’ must have at least 70% theory component and in case the criteria does not met then the marks of theory and practical shall be converted into 70% and 30% on pro rata basis.

* For more details and subjects available in the List A kindly check out the link given below :-

Now as you have mentioned that you are seeking admission in BA hons. in English so your best 4 percentage would include 90 for English, 85 for H.Sc., 72 for Physics and 69 for Biology so your best 4 percentage comes out to be 79%.

You can use DU College predictor tool which will tell you what all colleges you can get based upon your best four percentage :-

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!!
