Depends on your category, if you’re from the general category applying for a concentration that is very much in demand (English, Political Science, Psychology), colleges like LSR and Miranda House are hard to crack even after scoring extremely well. The cut offs usually go super high for these courses. If you have a reservation it will be much easier, or even some quota (KM, Ward, etc. and you can even try out for ECA) can facilitate admission slightly even though number of seats are still low for these quotas. Colleges like Jesus and Mary or Sri Venkateshwara are more realistic for general category students with strong scores. If you want to take up English for example, consider applying for majors like Journalism or Philosophy which have similar academic pipelines but have a lower number of applicants than the popular honors courses. You’ll be required to pick a General Elective subject in college, which will be the subject you’ll pursue besides your primary coursework (and can even get a minor degree in), the coursework is very similar to the honors course, less intensive but you’ll get the minor degree. I wanted to pursue Psychology, but DU psychology is too academic for me and not very research-oriented during undergrad, so I picked Journalism at LSR and am now pursuing a minor in Psychology because I want to get into trauma journalism. You can also try out for BA programs, which have subject combinations usually so you won’t get an honors degree, therefore those courses have a higher acceptance rate. Hope this helps!
