DU first cut-off list 2020 released, check course-wise cut-offs in top colleges

As announced by the officials of DU, the first cut-off list 2020 for admissions to various UG courses (based on merit) has been rolled-out within the stipulated time. After 2011, the DU 2020 cut-offs has once again touched the 100% mark. The underlying reason behind the average increase of 0.5 to 2% points across colleges for various courses can be related to the upsurge in the percentage of students scoring 95% and above by 118.6% this year, and 67.48% in the number of students getting 90% and above.

To make things easier to comprehend, the university does not calculate the cut-offs based on the exact marks obtained in class 12 but is dependent on the best of four formulae. Calculating the minimum percentage required to enrol in the course is a multi-step process. Besides, the admissions to DU are not based on a first-come, first-serve system. If needed, the colleges even increase the number of seats to accommodate all eligible students.
