Admission to courses under the University of Delhi (DU) requires filling out a UG admission form in May, followed by adherence to cut-off lists that vary slightly each year. For SSN Science courses, the cut-off is generally 92-94% for General candidates and 86-89% for OBC candidates. Admission involves document verification, while applicants through the Extra Curriculum or Sports quota must clear additional tests and interviews. The faculty is experienced, emphasizing research and student-centered teaching, with particular praise for the Physics department.
The campus is well-maintained, providing a conducive learning environment. DU's undergraduate fees are affordable, totaling around 30,000 INR for three years, with an admission fee between 8,000 and 9,000 INR in the first year and a total exam fee of approximately 6,000 INR over the duration of the course. Despite affordable fees, placement opportunities through the Central Placement Cell are limited, with only a few companies visiting annually and a minimal placement rate in Science courses.
Internships are scarce, requiring high academic performance to secure. Students can engage in extracurricular activities to boost resumes. Scholarships are widely available for SC, ST, OBC, and female students through university, government, and private initiatives. The cost for a complete physics honors degree is around 80,000 INR, with first-year fees approximately 11,745 INR. Scholarships based on academic performance, like the Inspire program, are available, offering 180,000 INR over three years.
SC/ST students can benefit from significant fee reductions, and low-income certificates can further decrease tuition costs. Starting this year, free one-year internships and additional scholarships are available to enhance student opportunities.
