You checked your score. Your first thought: it is not enough for DU.

That makes sense — because every coaching centre, every YouTube channel, every Telegram group was built around DU. That is where the search volume is. That is not where the opportunity ends.

Your score works at 230+ universities. This page has every one of them — with official apply links and 2025 score data wherever it exists.
