The general eligibility criteria require a bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognized university with a minimum of 50% marks (45% for SC/ST/PwD candidates as per government norms). Final-year students can also apply provisionally. Some colleges may have additional requirements—for example, DSE’s MA Economics program requires a strong quantitative background. Work experience is not mandatory for most Delhi colleges except for executive MBA programs. International students must meet equivalent academic standards and may need to provide additional documentation like equivalence certificates from AIU.
