High Cut-offs Keeps Students Away

Contrary to expectations of a huge jump in Delhi University cut-offs across the board, it is only the North Campus colleges which have increased the minimum marks for admission.

Ramjas College got over one lakh applications this year with a large number of 90 percenters among them. And it was very difficult for the college not to raise their cut-off this year. These high cut-offs acted as a safeguard against over subscription of seats.

Another popular college for commerce students, Sri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), has raised the cut-off for BCom (Hons) to 95.25%-98.75% compared to 94.5%-98% last year. In Economics (Hons), this year’s cut-off is 93.5%-96.5% against 92.75%-95.75% last year.

There is a clear rise of 3% each in honours programme in History, Political Science and English at SGTB Khalsa College with the cut-offs for Economics (Hons), BCom programme and BCom (Hons) also registering a 0.5% growth each from last year. The disparity between the cut-offs of North Campus colleges and others is more glaring in science programmes.

The cut-offs may be out but admissions will only start on June 26. No college can refuse admission to any qualifying student on any of the three days scheduled for it— June 26, 27 & 29.
