Hello,

With CUET PG scores of 109 in Botany and 130 in Biotechnology, and being in the SC category, your prospects for gaining admission into M.Sc. are promising. Opportunities in Botany or Biotechnology at Delhi University are, regrettably, quite limited. Generally, DU’s cutoff for SC students in these disciplines ranges from around 170–210 for Botany and 160–200 for Biotechnology. Your present scores are considerably lower than these benchmarks. Nevertheless, it’s not the conclusion of the journey.

You might still think about applying to various central or state universities where the cutoffs tend to be less stringent. For example, Mahatma Gandhi Central University establishes its SC cutoff for Botany at approximately 58–62 marks and for Biotechnology at roughly 48–52 marks. Smaller and more recent institutions, along with DU associated colleges, occasionally set lower criteria in subsequent counselling rounds or for less sought-after specializations. In summary, although DU might not be attainable with your present scores, there are still worthwhile and significant options available.

Hope this helps. All the best!
