New Delhi: Setting the benchmark, Sri Ram College of Commerce and Ramjas College of the Delhi University (DU) on Monday were among the first to announce their cut-offs for admission to courses under three-year format with the bar set as high as 98.75%.
After much delay due to the row over the controversial four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP), admissions to academic session 2014-15 will begin on Tuesday much to the relief of over 270,000 students who applied this year. Sri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), ranked among the best in the country for higher studies in commerce and economics, announced high cut-offs for B.A. (hons) economics with commerce students under the general category required to have above 98.25% to get admission in the elite institution.
The cut-off for both science and humanities students under the gfneral category was just one 1% less at 97.25%. For scheduled caste (SC) and other backward classes (OBC) students, the cut-off range was between 94.25% and 96.50%. Additional eligibility criteria by colleges, which had been done away with before FYUP was rolled back, has been brought back. SRCC has imposed the rider that students should have studied mathematics in Class XII and have at least got 70% in board exams. For commerce at SRCC, the cut-off was at 97.5% for commerce students, 98.50 for science students and 99% for humanities students. Ramjas too announced a high cut-off list with several additional eligibility criteria with the percentages required to get admission to economics, English and commerce ranging between 91.50% and 98.75%. For arts courses such as political science, history and B. A. programme, the cut-offs ranged between 91% and 98%. The cut-offs for science courses ranged between 90% and 96.50%. Other colleges are expected to come out with their cut-off lists later in the evening. As expected, B.Tech courses and bachelor in management studies, which have been scrapped after the FYUP was rolled back, did not feature in the cut-off lists.
