Previous-Years Trend Snapshot
UG programs such as BBA and BCA demand 60% in aggregate of 10+2 without considering non-core subjects, and the final selection is done by interviewing the selected candidates to determine their aptitude. For PG, MBA/PGDM cutoffs include CAT 60% all together, MAT 70, CMAT 80 and XAT 60, General category cutoffs reduced to 50-55%. Such numbers based on the applicant pool and seat availability (about 300 seats all) is competitive to come in, and optional UG merit boosts are based on the JEE/CUET percentiles (75 and above tied in scholarship). Applying now (2023) slightly increased the cutoffs (20% increment) giving priority to those having good academics and extracurriculars. The reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC) will enjoy the relaxation of 5-10%, which will facilitate inclusivity. After cutoff, documents are checked and seats confirmed through merit lists after which provisional options are available should the results be pending. This open procedure at DBS Uttarakhand assists 90% placement of students that are admitted.
