    Hi
    I seek to inquire if any college in Delhi University (other than DSE) has this course.
    Is the admission to this course rank-based or does securing a cutoff in terms of certain absolute marks suffice?
    Is there a group discussion or personal interview round for those clearing the entrance exam?
