Admission
The admission process for the courses BMS (Bachelor of Management Studies) and B.A.(Hons) Business Economics (BBE) is quite different from the general cutoffs based on Class 12th results, as followed for other courses. The Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), University of Delhi, undertakes this responsibility. Selection criteria for the prospective candidates consist (weightage given in brackets):
1. An objective type (MCQ) written test, the Delhi University Joint Admission Test (DU-JAT), includes a variety of questions on verbal aptitude, quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, general awareness, and current affairs. (65%)
2. Best of fourscore in class 12th, including English and Mathematics. (35%)
The admission test (DU-JAT) is highly competitive, with only 400 seats across the university, with a selection ratio of 1:50 students.
The admission to other honours and vocational courses is made solely based on cutoffs based on Class XII best of four. The cutoff of the College of Vocational Studies is comparatively high for these courses.
