The 96% Cutoff Reality

This isn’t your average admissions season. Scoring a seat here means you were among the top science students in the country. Bring your A-game (and your CUET prep) or this door stays shut.

The verdict

Good fit

Hans Raj is a North Campus DU legend with elite NAAC credentials and a recruiter list that spans both IT services and core pharma/biotech. The fee is almost unbelievably low for the brand value. That said, the 96% cutoff is brutal, the 55% placement rate isn’t a safety net, and the ₹4.5 LPA average means you should view this as a launchpad for M.Sc. or competitive exams rather than an instant salary jackpot. If you bleed biology and want the DU clout, this is a good fit. If you need guaranteed immediate ROI, consider carefully.
