Second DU list doesn’t hold out much hope

NEW DELHI, JUNE 30 : With the second cut-off lists of Delhi University out on Tuesday, many students may hold hopes of making the grade. But here is a reality check: the percentages for most subjects have not gone down more than one to two per cent. This means that all the major colleges still have cut-offs above 90 per cent for its popular courses.

Out of a total 384 seats in SRCC for B Com (Hons), 335 have been filled. Hence in the second list, cut off is being reduced by a mere 0.5 per cent. Earlier it was 94.5-98 per cent. Meanwhile, Hindu is decreasing the cut-off marks for B Com (Hons) by 0.5 per cent and Sri Venkateswara is reducing it by 1.25 per cent.

“Hansraj College only has 100 more seats to fill out of 800. So we are reducing the cut-off for B Com (Hons) and Economics (Hons) by 0.25 and 0.5 per cent, respectively,” said Dr S R Arora, Principal.

Girls’ colleges are just as competitive. Kanika Khandelwal, PRO of Lady Shri Ram College, says that with more girls getting good marks in the class-XII exams, the competition is really high. “The seats of English and B Com are nearly filled, so we don’t have to decrease the cut off much,” she says.
