Department of Financial Studies, Delhi University Course Admission 2026: Dates, Fees, Eligibility, Application Process, Selection Criteria

DFS DU does not have any tie-ups with banks. The college fees are already low compared to other colleges i.e Rs. 48,500 therefore students generally don't take a loan. Public banks like SBI, BOB, Union Bank, etc as per their policies can provide up to only 7.5 lakhs of rupees for student loans without collateral irrespective of the course and country. This loan includes hostel fees, mess charges, the cost of a laptop which is vital for an MBA, education loan insurance, a security deposit, and other charges put by the college.

The course fee of DFS DU is INR 26,000. The other charges include the admission fee, which needs to be paid at the time of admission. Along with the admission fee, the total fee amounts to INR 48,500 for the general category. There is an additional enrollment fee of Rs. 50 for non-DU students. For students under the PWD category, the fee is INR 12,125.

The application fee for the general category is INR 2,000 and for SC/ST/PC candidates the application fee is INR 1,000. Hostel accommodation fees come after completion of the admissons category. The hostel fee is INR 26,600 for men's hostels and for women, it is INR 23,600.

There is no written ability test conducted for admissions to DFS DU. The weightage for the CAT percentile is 60%. Marks obtained in 10th and 12th are 5% each. There is a 25% weightage given to PI. Female candidates get a 2.5% additional weightage. If the applicant is from B. Com (Hons.), B. A. (Hons.) (Economics), B. A. (Hons.) (Business Economics), BBE, BBS/BMS or BFIA/BBA (FIA) they get additional weightage of 2.5%. Therefore DFS DU is not highly reliant on 10th and 12th scores and there is no additional weight given to work experience.

It is very difficult to figure out the specific score that is required to get admission with low academic record. Getting admission to DFS DU already requires a high percentage so it can be said that a score above 98% will increase the chance of getting admission to the college. If a person has low academics they should also work hard for their GD and PI preparations as that is a strong deciding factor for getting admissions. Although unlike IIMs it is very much possible for people to get admission to DFS DU if they have low academics.
