Hello,

Hello,

No, this will not be considered a gap year.

Since you graduated from Delhi University in 2024 and simultaneously enrolled in a one-year online diploma course with IGNOU (June 2024 – July 2025), you were engaged in academic learning during that period. Even though the course is online, it is recognized by a central university (IGNOU), and this counts as an educational activity—not a break in your academic timeline.

So, when you apply for PG in MA English from DU, this period will be seen as a continuous academic engagement, not a gap year. Just be sure to mention your IGNOU diploma enrollment in your application or CV, if required.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hello,

You are unlikely to face any significant problems during placement with your current academic profile. Most companies that visit colleges for campus recruitment typically require candidates to have a minimum of 60% to 65% marks in their 10th and 12th standards, along with a consistent academic record and no active backlogs. With 85% in your top five subjects (Physics, Chemistry, English, Physical Education, and Computer Science) and 79.8% in core academic subjects like PCM, English, and CS, you comfortably meet and even exceed these criteria. During placement eligibility screening, companies generally consider the overall percentage in 12th standard, and since both your overall and core percentages are above average, they should not pose any obstacle.

Hope this helps. All the best!
