Delhi University Admissions 2022: BCom, BA Political Science, English (Hons) Most Highly Chosen Courses.

Delhi University (DU) consistently grabs attention for its extremely high cut-offs during the admissions season. Nonetheless, it is still one of the most popular options for recent high school graduates. B.Com (Hons), B.A. (Hons) Political Science, and B.A. (Hons) English are some of the undergraduate programs that Delhi University has seen the most demand for over the years based on their high cut-offs and large enrolments.

The prominence of DU stems from the fact that some of the humanities, commerce, and science courses offered by DU are among the most sought-after in the country, and other central universities do not offer the same selection. The B.Com (Hons) program saw the most admissions in 2021, with 8755 admissions across 54 colleges. Following that were B.Com (7672), B.A. (Hons), Political Science (4279), B.A. (Hons) English (3015), and B.A. (Hons) History (2975). There were respectively 43, 45, 46, and 43 colleges that offered these courses.

Given the high demand for the B.Com (Hons) program, cut-offs are high in DU. This year around 15 colleges set 99 percent as the course’s first cut-off. The course’s cut-off score was 100 percent, set by the Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC).

The popularity of DU is largely a result of its location, which offers better infrastructure and research facilities than other central and state universities. Due to the dearth of research and infrastructure resources at their state and central universities, students are migrating in massive numbers to DU.
