Hello,

DU is one of the best places to pursue B.A in English Honours. In DU, 27% seats are reserved for OBC-NCL candidates. You get relaxation in merit/cut-off and possibly in fee concessions. You must have a minimum 45% aggregate marks in Class 12 board exams to be eligible and also must meet the cut-off or merit rank as per CUET for OBC category (lower than UR but varies each year). So, please go through the CUET portal and DU website.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hello,

To pursue a BA (Hons) in English at Delhi University (DU) under the OBC category, you should aim for a CUET score between 150 and 200 out of 250 . This range is considered competitive for OBC candidates.

However, securing admission also depends on the specific college and its cut-off for your category. For instance, in 2024, colleges like Hansraj College had a cut-off of 746 out of 800 for BA (Hons) English, while Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma College had a cut-off of 696 out of 800 . These figures are for the General category, so OBC cut-offs are typically lower.

It's important to note that DU's admission process is centralised through the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) . After CUET results are declared, DU will release the CSAS portal, where you can select your preferred courses and colleges. The final admission will depend on your CUET score, the college's cut-off, and seat availability.

Hope it helps !

If you are an OBC candidate applying to DU for English Honours, a CUET score of 730 to 770 (around 90-96 percentile) is required for the best colleges.

Cutoff Trends:

Well-known colleges (for example, Hindu, Miranda, Ramjas): 95%+ percentile

Mid-range colleges (such as Deshbandhu and Zakir Husain): bracket between 85% and 90%

English Honours students study these CUET subjects.

This is a work on English (specifically the Language paper).

General Test

Pick at least 2 subjects that are related to Arts or Commerce.

Keep in mind that the English language test and general paper are more significant.
