DU is the only university to offer hundreds of courses to suit the interest and ambition of thousands of students, who graduate from the university&#8217;s hallowed halls, every year. Additionally, the university has facility for the students to pursue education from School of Open Learning, Cluster Innovation Center and Non-Collegiate women educational board. Although Delhi University offers a wide variety of courses, there are few courses that form the top choices for the lakhs of students who apply to the university each year.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few years, the cut-offs for the various programs of the university have seen a steep rise. Getting 90% is just not enough to get into the course and the college of your choice. The data from the previous year showcases that B.A. History (Hons) was the most popular course in the first cut-off list, science courses failed to take off in most of the colleges, and Shri Ram College of Commerce, Miranda House, Lady Shri Ram, Ramjas and Sri Venkateshwara College were the most popular colleges.<\/p>\n<h1>Most popular and coveted courses offered by Delhi University<\/h1>\n<p><strong>English (Hons)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-443\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mindler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/english-.png\" alt=\"english-\" width=\"1038\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bcdn.mindler.com\/bloglive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/06132116\/english-.png 1038w, https:\/\/bcdn.mindler.com\/bloglive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/06132116\/english--1024x510.png 1024w, https:\/\/bcdn.mindler.com\/bloglive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/06132116\/english--770x384.png 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1038px) 100vw, 1038px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u201cA book is man\u2019s best friend\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you believe in this saying, then you are fit for the course. The course requires the students to have an intensive reading of the novels which range from Shakespeare to our Indian ancient authors. Reading and writing skills are required to excel in the course. It was one of the most popular courses in the Delhi University last year with over 90 thousand students applying for less than 5000 seats. Delhi University has removed the entrance exam system for the admission in the course, and now the admission is based on the marks secured by the students in the boards. Teaching, writing, journalism, publishing and translation are some of the top career avenues one can get into.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Top colleges for Literature in DU:<\/strong> Jesus &amp; Mary College, LSR, Hindu, St. Stephens, Gargi College, Hans Raj College, Hindu College, Maitreyi College, Miranda House and Sri Venkateshwara College.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-size: 1.6rem; line-height: 1.5;\">B.Com (Hons)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-445\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mindler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/bcom.png\" alt=\"bcom\" width=\"1038\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bcdn.mindler.com\/bloglive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/06132121\/bcom.png 1038w, https:\/\/bcdn.mindler.com\/bloglive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/06132121\/bcom-1024x510.png 1024w, https:\/\/bcdn.mindler.com\/bloglive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/06132121\/bcom-770x384.png 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1038px) 100vw, 1038px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.6rem; line-height: 1.5;\">Do numbers and calculations excite you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1.6rem; line-height: 1.5;\">If yes, then you should consider one of the most popular courses in the commerce stream.
