For popular Delhi University programs such as B.Com, B.A. Economics, and Political Science, the cut-off for General category students could range from 750 to 790 marks or higher. At JNU, the merit cut-off for undergraduate foreign language courses is expected to fall between 740 and 775 marks. For courses in the Arts, Social Sciences, Commerce, and Mathematics streams at BHU, the cut-off is estimated to range between 680 and 740 marks.
