The 95% Cutoff + No Hostel
Scoring 95% in boards is the baseline here, not the flex. Also, Dyal Singh doesn’t offer hostel accommodation, so budget for a PG or commute from nearby areas. The good news? At ₹51K total fees, you might actually afford the rent.
The verdict
Good fit
This is a no-brainer if you have the board marks and want a DU English degree without the private-college debt. The NAAC ‘A’ rating, 62-seat cohort, and ₹51K fee tag are genuine wins. Just brace yourself for the 95% cutoff, no hostel, and a placement landscape that rewards hustle alongside the degree.
