DU Admission 2023: The University of Delhi is among the topmost choices of students for taking admission into UG and PG programs. Now, again the struggle of aspirants has begun as the admission season is almost here.

Delhi University offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs and most importantly gives amazing campus life. Also, it focuses on extracurricular activities to let candidates pursue their interests with their academics.

Since last year, the pattern of DU admission has changed a lot. Now, 12th-class scores are not enough to take admission into the dream college. Common University Entrance Test (CUET) scores determine whether a candidate can secure a seat or not. Moreover, DU PG admission will also be done through CUET-PG from this academic year. Before this, only undergraduate admissions were done through the CUET scores.
