DU Merit List 2023 Calculation

The Delhi University calculates course-specific merit scores depending on the candidate’s eligibility criteria. Moreover, candidates must confirm their scores prior to filling in their preferences. Further, DU merit list calculation is done based on three lists: List A, List B1 or B2.

List A: Languages of Section 1A Section 1 B of CUET UG 2023

At least one of the following given languages must be chosen by the candidate from List A:

List B: Domain-specific Subjects given in Section II of CUET UG 2023

Candidates must consider the program-specific eligibility criteria to select subjects from List B. This list is further divided into B1, which covers 18 subjects and B2, which involves 9 subjects.

Let us take an example to understand the calculation for the DU merit list 2023. Here are the CUET scores of Candidates X and Y:

We have come up with the following explanation on the basis of the above-mentioned example.

• The image shows that candidates have selected the given subjects in CUET 2023 examination. Now suppose they wish to apply for the BA program at DU, then they must choose any one language from List A + Any two subjects from List B1 + Any one subject from either of B1 or B2 Lists. 
• English, History, Physical Education, and Sociology are subjects for Candidate X.
• Hindi, Physics, Biology, & Chemistry are subjects for Candidate Y.
• Candidates can now sum up the normalised score of CUET for each of the subjects.
• Let us say a candidate achieves 700 out of 800 (in the best four subjects). Then, they can apply to their desired institute through the online portal in accordance with the DU merit list.
