Foreign languages after 12th

Undergraduate foreign-language degrees are offered by DU (through its departments, on CUET-UG via CSAS), JNU's School of Language, Literature & Culture Studies (CUET-UG), EFLU Hyderabad (CUET-UG) and Jamia (own test). DU figures are official round-1 minimum allocation scores (General/UR, DU CSAS 2025, out of 1000); JNU and EFLU do not publish comparable closing scores. Many learners also combine a BA Programme with a language, or take certificate/diploma courses alongside another degree.

Delhi University scores are the sum of CUET subject scores (250 per subject): usually out of 1,000 for four subjects, 750 for three. Where we know the maximum, it is shown.

Cut-offs move every year and differ by category, quota and home state. Use them to judge the level, then check the official counselling data.
