Delhi University has altered its eligibility criteria for B.Sc courses for the upcoming academic year. The new eligibility criteria have made it difficult for students to get admission in these courses.
The coming academic year of 2019-2020 might be tough for the aspirants who are seeking admission to the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) programmes at Delhi University. The University of Delhi has altered the eligibility criteria which includes an increase in the overall percentage.
The university has also made subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and English compulsory for some science courses which has made it difficult for students with an aggregate below 60 percent.
For example, students who are applying for B.Sc (Honours) in Mathematics must have an aggregate percentage of at least 60 percent in Mathematics. However, last year the eligibility for the same subject stated that the overall percentage of the student should be at least 45 percent and marks in Mathematics should be 50 percent.

Similarly, the minimum aggregate score for all commonly applied courses like Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) Honours in Physics, Chemistry, has been raised to 60 percent from 55 percent.
Till last year, the aggregate percentage that was required for getting admission into B.Sc courses at DU used to be 55 percent marks in the relevant subject and 50 percent marks in one compulsory language. This year, however, it has been made mandatory that students should have at least 50 percent marks in English.
The Dean of Students’ Welfare of Delhi University, Rajeev Gupta, said that the eligibility criteria were revised based on the recommendations that were made by the various departments. He said that the difference in the criteria will not matter much and the percentage required for admission is generally high.

The teachers, however, had a different stance on this and said that the administration took this decision arbitrarily without involving the statutory bodies of the university. They said that the new eligibility criteria will affect the students and not really prove to be beneficial for them.
