DHSK College Admission Process

DHSK College completed undergraduate and postgraduate admissions for the 2026-27 session. Its undergraduate selection combined CUET scores with a college-level merit list incorporating Class 12 marks. Since becoming autonomous in April 2025, the college has introduced its own syllabi for some programmes while retaining Dibrugarh University affiliation.

Undergraduate Eligibility and Selection

For the 2026-27 cycle, CUET scores were the primary basis for undergraduate merit selection. The college prepared category-wise lists after the results. Reservations follow Assam government rules for SC, ST, OBC and EWS candidates. Lateral admission is unavailable for BA and B.Sc.

Postgraduate Eligibility and Selection

MA and M.Sc selection uses final-year BA or B.Sc marks in the relevant subject under Dibrugarh University admission norms. Selection is merit-based, with no additional college-level entrance examination.

• MA applicants need a BA with Honours or Pass in the relevant subject from a recognised university.
• M.Sc applicants need a relevant B.Sc degree with at least 50%.
• M.Sc Life Science accepts graduates in Biotechnology, Botany, Zoology or allied Life Science subjects.
