    Admission:

    Admission for this particular course is based on the cut-off list. You have to go to the admission desk of the college and get the application form, fill it and submit it with the documents needed. The admission process is simple and though there are a lot of students so there should be enough staff members to handle the admission process smoothly.

    Admission:

    Eligibility, of course, is just good marks in your 12th class at that time, but at present, you have to get good marks in CUET.2023, at least 700/800. You can find the application form on Delhi university's official website and 250 rupees for the application form fee. The overall admission process is quite good you need to be patient.
