Maitreyi College B.Sc Physical Science FAQs
Ques. What is the difference between B.Sc (Physical Science with Chemistry) and B.Sc (Hons.) Chemistry or Physics at Maitreyi College?
Ans. B.Sc (Physical Science with Chemistry) is a programme course that combines Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in a multidisciplinary format. It does not specialise in a single subject like the Honours courses. B.Sc (Hons.) Chemistry or Physics are specialised single-subject Honours programmes with a deeper focus. The programme course is generally considered slightly less competitive in terms of CUET cutoffs compared to Honours courses.
Ques. Is CUET UG mandatory for admission to B.Sc (Physical Science with Chemistry) at Maitreyi College?
Ans. Yes, from 2024 onwards, admission to all undergraduate programmes at Maitreyi College (University of Delhi) is strictly through CUET UG scores. You must register for CUET UG, appear in the relevant domain subject papers (Physics/Chemistry), and then register on the DU CSAS portal to apply for this course.
Ques. What is the total fee for the entire 3-year B.Sc (Physical Science with Chemistry) programme at Maitreyi College?
Ans. The annual fee for 2026-27 is Rs. 21,340. For the full 3-year programme, the approximate total fee comes to around Rs. 64,020 (subject to revision each year). This does not include hostel charges, examination fees, or any other incidental expenses.
