Delhi University (DU) is one of the top leading universities in India. Its MA English course is one of the most popular courses, in which students across India apply. Moreover, the competition is increasing each year due to DU MA English course popularity.

There are approximately 400 seats available in the MA English course at Delhi University. But 50% of the seats out of those are reserved for the DU’s BA English Honors students scoring at least 60% aggregate (54% for reserved categories).

The remaining 50% (45% for reserved categories) of the seats are available through DU MA English Entrance 2021 mode. All you need is a graduation degree from a UGC-recognized University in India.

Despite having 200 seats, the competition makes it difficult for students from other courses and universities to secure a seat at Delhi University.

Delhi University offers admission through two modes – one is Entrance mode, and the other is the direct mode. Accordingly, the seats are bifurcated equally, which means 50% for entrance mode, and the remaining 50% for direct mode (merit-based).

There are approximately 400 seats for the MA English course at Delhi University.
