This is the first time that the DU is enrolling students based on CUET marks, however, the importance of class 12 marks or the age-old best of four rule is not over. While applying, candidates will also have to submit their marks in all the subjects in which they have passed class 12. If there is a merit tie, then the class 12 marks will be the basis for breaking it.
As per the earlier admission criteria, the ‘best of four’ marks in class 12 of each student were used to calculate and create the merit list. For this year, students only need to clear class 12 to appear for CUET. The DU cut-offs, however, faced ire after the merit list of DU’s various colleges reached 100 per cent cut off in the last couple of years. Despite Delhi University’s claims to “stabilize” cut-offs as many as nine courses demanded a minimum of 100% marks to offer admissions.
