For Phase-II selection, admission depends on seat availability, merit, and cutoff marks from Phase I.

M.Sc. Private/Distance Mode is Rarely Available for:

Botany

Chemistry

Because t hese subjects involve lab work, practicals, and experiments, which cannot be completed through distance/private mode easily.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, if you are a student pursuing B. Sc (Hons) Botany in Delhi University, you can choose Zoology as a minor subject based on the college's syllabus. According to the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF 2022), part of the NEP framework, the Delhi University system allows students, the opportunity to select a minor subject that is outside of their major discipline. Zoology, is an acceptable minor choice for Botany students as both subjects belong to life sciences. Here is how to choose zoology as a minor:

1. You should first check with your college's Botany department/academic coordinator if Zoology is available as a minor subject.
2. When you register for your courses or fill your preferences (which usually occurs in the first semester), select Zoology as your minor subject of preference.
3. You may have to continue studying Zoology for the subsequent semesters to obtain the required credits for a minor.

Remember to refer to your college specific academic handbook or website, as the subjects offered may vary from each of the DU colleges.

To get M.Sc. Botany seat in Thakur College, first complete B.Sc. Botany with minimum 50% marks. Apply online on college site in June-July. Upload documents, pay fees. Moreover, admission is given based on merit. No entrance needed if you're from Mumbai University.

If you are scoring 433 out of 750 in CUET and you belong to the EWS category, it will be very difficult to get admission in B.Sc. (Hons) Botany in any of the South Campus colleges of Delhi University.

Most South Campus colleges like ARSD, Deshbandhu, and others had CUET cutoffs above 470 marks for Botany in the EWS category last year. Some even had cutoffs close to 500 or more.

Since your score is 433, it is below the usual cutoff range. So, getting a seat in Round 1 is unlikely. You might still have a small chance in the later rounds or in less popular colleges, but it is not guaranteed.

You can look at off-campus DU colleges or apply for general B.Sc. programmes which have lower cutoffs than honours courses.

Hello student,

It is unlikely you will get a BSc (Hons) in Botany at a South Campus college of Delhi University with a score of 433 out of 750 in the EWS category .

South Campus colleges generally have higher cut-offs for popular courses like Botany, and 433 is below the typical range.

I recommend you to read the following article to understand the cutoff trends of DU:
