Delhi University directs applicants to stick to CUET subjects as pursued in Class 12

The Delhi University (DU) hosted a webinar on Wednesday on admissions to undergraduate programs, alerting aspirants they will have to appear for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for the same courses they pursued at Class 12.

Numerous students and guardians attended the event, where the officials of admission branches answered the questions of their attendees.

Regarding The Webinar

The webinar on undergraduate admissions for the next academic year was addressed by DU's Joint Dean Anand Sonkar and Dean of Admissions Haneet Gandhi.

They asked students to fill out their application forms carefully, providing correct details such as name, parents' names, category, and a clear photograph and digital signature.

Gandhi emphasized that mistakes in filling CUET applications cannot be corrected later.

"From this year, students will be able to choose up to five subjects in CUET, which is spread across 37 subjects with a General Aptitude Test. It is very important to opt for CUET subjects that align with Class 12 subjects," she added.

Responding to a question from a student of science who wished to study commerce, Gandhi clarified that for BCom (Hons), students should have studied Mathematics or Accountancy in Class 12. Students without these subjects are not eligible for B.Com (Hons.) but can apply for the B.Com course.

Officials reaffirmed that although CUET is compulsory for all candidates, Class 12 board marks will not have any bearing on admissions, apart from passing marks. They told the students to keep an eye only on the DU website for information and not believe in outside sources.

Delhi University has 79 undergraduate courses in its 69 affiliated colleges, all of which need CUET scores for admission.
