Dear student,

If you want to take admission to science courses at Delhi University like B.Sc. (Hons.) in Zoology, Botany, or Food Technology , your CUET subject choices matter a lot.

DU requires you to take Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in CUET for most life science courses. If you choose Physical Education instead of Physics in CUET—even if you studied Physics in Class 12—you won’t be eligible for courses that require Physics as a CUET subject.

Delhi University looks strictly at the subjects you appeared for in CUET , not just what you studied in school.

So, yes— choosing Physical Education instead of Physics in CUET will make you ineligible for certain B.Sc. science courses at DU.

Hello Aspirant,

Admissions depend on the specifications of the course and the rules of the university. You wrote the CUET without a Physics component, and your eligibility for a science-based, or medical-related course in which Physics was a necessary CUET component could be affected because you did Physics, Chemistry, and Biology in Class 12. But if you are applying for a non-technical or interdisciplinary course (for example, BSc Psychology, Environmental Science, etc.) where Physics is not required in the CUET, you may qualify.

Yes, you can get admission in DU, but it depends on:

1. The course you are applying for, and
2. Whether your CUET subject combination matches the eligibility for that course.

For example:

• B.Sc. (Biology, Zoology, Botany) – Your CUET subjects are perfect (PCB).
• B.Sc. (Life Sciences) – Also good with PCB.
• B.A. (Education) – You chose Education in CUET, so you’re eligible.
