DU admissions 2020: Apply for courses after seeing cut-offs; what single-form means
This year, the application form filled by students will act as a single form and they will be eligible for admissions to any course or college they qualify as per merit
DU admissions 2020: Unlike last year when a handful of courses saw a large influx of applications, giving a thrust to an already high cut-off, this year might bring some respite for students. The University of Delhi (DU) is offering a single-form application, which means that students will have the chance to decide on the courses or colleges they are eligible to apply for, once the cut-off is released.
Last year, the most opted for courses included BA programmes, psychology, economics, English, history, with high cut-offs. The highest was 98.75 per cent for economics and English. For history, it was 98.5 per cent, BA programme at 98 per cent and for math, the cut-off went up to 97.5 per cent.

This year, the application filled by students will act as a single form and they will be eligible for admissions to any course or college they qualify as per merit. This is expected to bring down the internal transfers of students who cancel admission to one college, making seats up for grabs in the second cut-off lists without a decline in the cut-off marks
Experts, however, believe that the cut-off is still expected to go high due to two reasons – much higher applications for Delhi University and a huge jump in 95 per cent scorers in board exams.
Last year, 2.5 lakh students had applied for DU in total, while this year, as many as 3,20,441 students have completed their registration process so far. The deadline is far from up. Students can apply till August 31. Among total registrations for undergraduate courses at Delhi University are 50,10,60 students, which includes registration forms that have been submitted as well as some forms, for which the process is underway but are yet to be submitted.
Among the boards, most of the applications have come in from CBSE with over 2.3 lakh of total students having cleared class 12 exams from CBSE, followed by CISCE with 9,500 applications and UP Board and Haryana Board at 6,700 applications each, as informed by the Delhi University admissions dean, Shobha Bagai. This data was collected last week and the numbers are expected to go higher.
