Journalism after 12th

Undergraduate journalism at DU admits on CUET-UG through CSAS (each programme on its own CUET subject mix, score out of 1000). Figures are official round-1 minimum allocation scores (General/UR, DU CSAS 2025); later rounds usually dip a little. Private schools (Symbiosis, Christ, St Xavier's) run their own tests and interviews. IIMC and ACJ are postgraduate, so they come after any 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.
