  2. Hi Akshat,

    Most likely as per CL expert team, the DU JAT 2016 cutoff should be between 195-200 for general category students. All the best!

     

    • Hi Shruti,
      Though, it’s difficult to predict at this time, however, with a general category score between 160-165, chances are that you should get through the BBE (in 1st or 2nd counselling). However, the probability of getting through BBA program is very bleak. We wish you luck!

       

    • Hi Nitesh,

      204 is a very good score and there are bright chances that you will get a call from all the colleges. Please do share your doubts and we shall respond to the same. Best wishes with you.

    • Dear Neeraj,
      As you have the category advantage, you might get a call. However, you will have to perform really well in the GD/PI.
      If you are a CLite, you already might have attended GD/PI sessions. Feel free to connect with your mentors/center for the same.

      Confidence surely is an important requisite, however, that’s not the only factor to GD/PI success. You may refer to GD DO’s & Don’ts at http://exams.careerlauncher.com/tips-symboisis-gd-sessions/

      Continue to perform well in the GD/PI. We wish the very best!

  45. Mam, actually I’ve also cleared BHU UET for BA (H) Social Sciences with 24th rank. The date of counseling at BHU & DU JAT results is the same i.e. July 4, 2016. If I’m not selected in CBS ahead, I may even lose admission in BHU & left with nothing else. How to solve this dilemma?

     

    • Dear Prajjwal,
      Yes CBS will not be a sure shot thing, as everything depends on the performance in GD /PI.
      However, you can call (CBS) and ask them for an alternate time some, if possible.

       

  47. Ma’am in my opinion there is a mistake in the answer key of series 21, it should be option C. In questions 12 and 53 instead of option B. And A. Respectively. Please do have a look. Thankyou!

    • Here are the responses to your queries:
      a. The list will be released by DU only in next few weeks. Would advise you to wait and watch out for the same.
      b. The students called for GDPI are always more than the seats, so that the best can be shortlisted.

  93. the interview schedule is out, ma’am.
    however as opposed to the 1000 people qualifying ever year, this year nearly 4500 people have been called for the GD/PI sessions.
    Why is that?
    ma’am will the marks of our JAT be released sometime later?

     

    • They have increased the no. of seats with respect to last year and they have called students for GD/PI for other courses as well.

       

  95. I am not able to check my result as my roll no. Is not being displayed in the list. What to do now ? Can you suggest where I can report to for the problem?

     

    • Dear Navya,
      The cut off has not been released. Students are already informed. If there is ‘Yes’ in GD PI, then you will get informed.

       

    • Dear Nupur,
      They usually take at least a week to announce the result after GDPI round. Cut off will be declared on the DU site itself.

       

    • Dear Pooja,
      If her GDPI went well then are bright chances of her getting a call. They usually take at least a week to announce the result. You will have to wait & watch.

       

    • Arunima – Good chances. The score is good, purely depends on your GD PI, others performance too. At this stage, you can wait for the result that should be out in a weeks time probably.

       

    • Vaishali – Good chances. The score is good, purely depends on your GD PI, others performance too. At this stage, you can wait for the result that should be out in a weeks time probably.

       

    • Aanish – The score is good, purely depends on your GD PI, others performance too. At this stage, you can wait for the result that should be out in a weeks time probably.

       

    • Sanyam – Can’t comment on the basis of the rank. If you have got the GD PI call, then focus on your GD PI preparation.

       

    • Nimisha – Can’t comment on the basis of the rank. The overall score is dependent on your performance in GD PI as well.

       

    • Ajay, Can’t comment on the basis of the rank. The overall score is dependent on your performance in GD PI as well.

       

  106. I’ve got overall rank 958 (Gen) in JAT. I’m afraid I won’t get any decent college under DU. I’ve secured admission in BHU. Is it worth trying further for DU or joining BHU is recommended?

     

    • It’s a doubtful score but it’s worth trying for DU. If you have got a GDPI call, put your best foot forward in the GDPI, else you have a back up.

       

  107. Mam I got 194 marks in entrance nd 1029 after gd/pi i got 1029 rank in general category.i want to ask in which colleges i am elligible nd for what courses

     

  108. Mam

  109. Maam I have got 1719 rank in jat 2016. Are there any chances of getting bbe or bms? My jat score is 175, so please confirm whether gdpi will be considered for bbe admissions?

     

    • Can’t comment on the basis of the rank. The GDPI sessions are happening now. If you have got the call, concentrate on performing well in the same.

       

  110. Mam As per DU answer key released there is difference of marks ( 6 marks ) in my entrance test.

    • You have to connect with DU authorities only. Write an email(with complete details) or call as they are the ones who can change it.

  116. Ma’am I would like to know what are the chances that the eligibility criteria would be same for the next year(2017) too? And also what are the chances that board result will be taken into consideration for final rank in 2017? as this year (2016) board result was not considered.

     

    • Dear Raghav,
      This was the first time that board exam result was not a consideration. Though we would like to mentor you on all aspects, However, we cannot comment any of your queries as it is purely a DU decision.

       

  117. My du jat rank os 438. I haven’t applied in bbe course in first counseling and now i m not getting option for further BMS counselling. I m already in good bcom h college but i want to get into any bms college. Now what should i do??

     

    • Bhagat, If you haven’t got call for BMS course then you might not be selected for the same. If that’s the case then our suggestion is to continue with B.Com (H) from a good college is a better option.
