DU admissions: Second list out, marginal drop in cut-offs

New Delhi: The cut-off percentages for admission to popular courses in Delhi University did not drop by much in its second list even as a some colleges closed admission for most courses.

While Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) closed its admissions for the BA (Honours) Economics course, the drop in cut-offs for the Commerce honours course was by only 0.25 percentage point.

In Hindu College, admissions for History, Political Science, Hindi, Sanskrit, Maths and Statistics honours courses have been closed. The drop in cut-offs for Commerce, English and Economics honours courses was marginal.

Most of the courses were closed for admission at Kirori Mal and Gargi colleges, while the popular Lady Shri Ram College has declared its admissions closed for four courses—BA pass, Hindi, Philosophy and Psychology.

While eleven colleges closed admissions for the English Honours course, 16 were closed for the Political Science honours course. Out of the three colleges that declared the first cut-off at 100% for the Computer Science (H) course, only Shyama Prasad Mukherjee College reduced its cut-off by a significant margin—5.5 percentage points for Arts students.

The other two colleges—ARSD college and Acharya Narendra Dev college—reduced the maximum percentage by only one and two percentage points respectively.

Much to the delight of students keen to get admission in Journalism Honours, the course continued to remain open except in Kamala Nehru College. Students can take admission into colleges based on the second cut-off list from 5 to 7 July.
