Delhi · University
One of India's largest central universities, DU reserves 15% of undergraduate seats for SC and 7.5% for ST candidates across its 90+ constituent colleges, with tuition fees already among the lowest of any major Indian university.
A very wide range of BA/BSc/BCom honours and general programmes, plus postgraduate and research programmes, across colleges including Hindu College, Miranda House, SRCC, Hansraj and many more.
Undergraduate admission via CUET (Common University Entrance Test); category-wise cutoffs are published by each constituent college separately, with SC/ST cutoffs typically well below the General category.
Extensive college-wise libraries and hostels, central university library, sports facilities, active student societies and cultural life across colleges.
Strong outcomes into further postgraduate study, civil services preparation, corporate roles and academia — DU's scale and alumni network are a significant advantage.
SC/ST fee concessions at most constituent colleges, plus eligibility for central Post-Matric Scholarship and state-specific scholarships depending on domicile.
