Reality Check: The Cut-off is Brutal
A 97% aggregate floor makes this one of India's most competitive Arts programs. You will need top board marks plus a strong CUET score to make the first cut-off list. The ROI is unmatched, but the entry gate is tiny.
The verdict
Strong fit
If you are a humanities kid with board marks that flex, this is peak DU. You get NIRF #1 prestige, a curriculum that spans British Lit to Gender Studies, and a total fee lower than a semester at many private colleges. Placements are solid for the stream, with media and ed-tech giants hiring. Only skip if you hate reading or want a guaranteed coding salary.
