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

Some colleges have already closed admissions for most courses

The cut-off percentages for admission to popular courses in Delhi University did not drop remarkably in the second list even as some colleges closed admission for most courses.

While Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) closed its admissions for B.A.(Honours) Economics, the drop in the cut-off for the Commerce honours course was a mere 0.25%.

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 popular girls college Lady Shri Ram College has declared admissions closed for four courses -- B.A. Pass, Hindi, Philosophy and Psychology.

While eleven colleges closed admissions for English Honours course, 16 were closed for Political Science honours course.

Out of the three colleges that declared a cut-off at 100% for Computer Science (H) course, only Shyama Prasad Mukherjee College reduced its cut-off by a significant margin of 5.5% for Arts students.

The other two colleges-ARSD and Acharya Narendra Dev colleges reduced the maximum percentage only by 1% and 2% 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 second cut-off list from tomorrow till July 7.
