End of Class 12th Merit Admissions

Prep varies: city students grab coaching, rural ones hunt free resources. The NCERT syllabus is familiar, but the format’s newness sparks concern.
BCom Honours Eligibility: No Maths Needed
DU made a bold move: BCom Honours no longer requires Maths. Students can qualify with one List A language,Accountancy/Bookkeeping, and two List B subjects—cutoffs still at 250/300. X is torn—some celebrate wider access,others question standards. This change opens doors, adding fuel to CUET’s trending fire.
