That 94% cutoff is no joke
Eligibility starts at a steep 94% in Class 12, plus you need to crack CUET. This isn't your backup option — it's a reach for serious bio students.
The verdict
Good fit
If you're a bio enthusiast who wants a legit DU degree without a six-figure fee bomb, ANDC Botany is a steal. The NAAC 'A' campus, research-heavy syllabus, and scholarship options are massive wins. But be real: placements are modest (35%), there's no hostel, and that 94% cutoff is brutal. Best for students eyeing M.Sc., CSIR-NET, or government research labs rather than instant corporate bagging.
