Before the first cut-off lists for courses in Delhi University come out on 23 June, we are sure you have tonnes of questions.
And we know the questions aren’t limited to Delhi alone.
That’s why we decided to help you out with admissions and career-related questions.
The Quint has got educational counsellors from CollegeDekho answering all your queries. Send in your sawaal for some expert advice on eduqueries@thequint.com.
Here are the answers to some of them:
Dear student,
If you get good BTech colleges based on this score, then undoubtedly take admission in engineering. However, this is subject to your interest. If you want to get into technical jobs in the future and have the correct skill set, then this is the best option. Studying engineering will give you a chance at better job prospects. But be prepared to slog it out more. Use the College Predictor to see the engineering colleges you can apply to based on your rank at IPU.
Also see the cut-offs/closing ranks of engineering colleges affiliated to IPU.
If you decide to study B Sc, that’s good too. Depending on the specialisation that you opt for, you can choose to either stick to the field or shift to other domains. But if given a choice between B Tech & B Sc, we suggest that you opt for B Tech.
Dear Ankita,
In my opinion, if you are to pursue MBA after completing your UG studies, you should take up BCom from DU. Firstly, if you compare the two Universities – IP and DU – the latter is more prestigious. Secondly, on completing BCom from DU, you will be in a better position to apply for jobs that will add to your work experience which will be an added advantage at the time of MBA interviews.

Dear Ankit,
We suggest that you start applying in private engineering colleges based on your location preference, at the same time, appear for the counselling process of the exams you appeared for.
Alternatively, we suggest that if you are not so specific about engineering, you can explore options such as BSc Computer Science, BCA etc. Click here for more.
Dear Utkarsh,
Computer Science and Gadget Designing are two different fields. If you want to become a computer scientist, you should pursue BTech in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) followed by M Tech in Automation Engineering. On the other hand, if you are interested in gadget designing, Electronics and Communication Engineering followed by MTech in VLSI would be the right career path for you.
Taking your word for it, if you are good at computers and are really interested in the field then you must go for BTech CSE. However, the final decision should be yours since this is your career.
Similarly, dropping a year for preparation should be your decision. Prioritise your options before deciding. If you don’t want to give away a year, then you must enrol for the best college you are getting, However, if you think you can score well next year, go ahead with full dedication.

Dear student,
Yes, there is a defence quota in Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT) for wards of defence and paramilitary personnel. Over and above the normal intake, 5% of the total seats are reserved for Defence Category candidates. As per priority 7, wards of serving personnel can get admission. However, any candidate's admission in an institute depends on various factors like cut-offs, whether you have all the necessary documents or not, etc. Take a look at last year's NSIT cut-off where you can find cut-offs under Defence (CW) category. You will get an idea of your chances of admission this year. Check out NSIT 2016 Cut-offs for this year here.
We also suggest that you check with the institute once directly to know your chances of admission.
