Top colleges and what it takes

Sports and physical-education degrees admit on a mix of an entrance or CUET score plus a physical fitness / skill test, and sporting achievements add weight. LNIPE uses CUET-UG plus fitness and skill tests; National Sports University runs its own entrance; IGIPESS (DU) uses CUET-UG with a physical test through CSAS. No institute publishes a comparable closing score, so the requirements are qualitative.

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.
