Back-up Plan
It is good to aspire for heights but at the same time a student must keep a backup plan in case reality does not match expectations. Apply for as many colleges and additional courses as you can.
Centralised forms provide ease of application in today's time. A student can apply to all major colleges on these forms so that he/she does not have to face any regret after the cut off lists are out. With cut-throat competition prevalent, it cannot be predicted as to what the accurate cut-off will be like. Hence, it is a safe option for students to pick as many colleges as possible.
Be Proactive
Be on your toes during the release of cut off lists. Changing the colleges due to new cut off lists can be a task as you will then need to withdraw your admission from the previously chosen college and then register for a new one.

Preference
A student can prioritize between the choice to choose a college or the course. Sometimes one can get the preferred course but not the best college that you aim for. In that case, in my opinion, one should go for the course because that will add value to your knowledge in the long run.
However, if the student is indifferent towards the courses, he may pick any college that suits his/her other requirements such as placements, faculty, clubs, and committees.
Applying to colleges and choosing a suitable college is a process containing a series of steps. A student should plan his/her admission process with utmost care. It proves to be an advantage if the student is aware of his requirements beforehand.
Lakhs of students apply to get admission to DU every year. However, the university has only a limited number of seats which means that only a small part of the total applicant eventually ends up pursuing their higher education in the reputed university. Usually, students who do not get selected are disheartened by the cut-throat competition and high cut off scores of DU. You must not be disappointed and start looking for other options without wasting time. There are many private colleges that offer top-notch academia and some of the best facilities to its students.
Fill the Common Application Form (CAF) and find the most suitable college for yourself. An admissions expert will talk to you and after understanding your requirements, he/ she will provide you with several options of colleges to choose from. There are many leading institutes that are performing brilliantly and are also getting featured on various reputed rankings. Pursuing your bachelor's degree from such a college will not only impart you with quality education but will also give you good exposure.
