Till the very last year, admission to DU was done on the basis of the cut-off marks for most of the undergraduate courses. For the postgraduate courses, students had to appear for entrance exams. Recently, DU Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh declared that the varsity is ready to incorporate CUCET in the admission process.
