I have an aggregate of 96% in the best of four criteria. Will I get admission in a good college of D.U. for B.A. Hons Psychology?

Hello Aspirant

The basic process to calculate the best of four percentage for BA programme admissions at Delhi University are as mentioned below:

· One Language (Core/Elective/Functional)

· Any three elective subjects to be selected. Deduction of up to 5% on ‘Best of Four’ percentage can be imposed if an aspirant changes the stream for admission to BA programme, from Commerce or Science stream to Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences.

· One non-listed (Academic/ Elective subjects for DU Admissions table mentioned below) subject can be included in calculating the ‘Best of Four’ marks without any deduction.

· While seeking admission in BA (Vocational) only, related vocational subjects can be “treated at par with academic/elective subjects and upto two vocational subjects, which are in relationship with the programme of study may be included for the calculation of Best Four”, informs DU

For admission in BA (Hons) Applied Psychology the ‘Best Four’ percentage will be the same as BA (Hons) Psychology.

Your percentage is a good percentage. Although the cut off lists for the top five colleges in DU go up to extreme percentages of 99%; Nonetheless, you have a good score and you will get admission in a decent college under DU. Also look for Indraprastha University.

The process will begin around the end of May and eventually, the cut off lists will be posted by different colleges. You have to follow the bulletin and make sure that you grab the opportunity as soon as it is presented.

If you are keen to study in Delhi, you can also apply in other universities such as Ambedkar University or Amity University.

Best of luck!
