NEW DELHI: The second cutoff list for undergraduate admissions in Delhi University colleges, issued on Thursday, holds out some hope. Admissions are open in all colleges as well as for all courses.
At over 50 colleges, admission is still open in Commerce though the drop in cut-offs is marginal at most of them. Seats are also available in Economics in about 28 colleges and in English in over 30. The two subjects in which admissions have closed in most colleges are, surprisingly, History and Political Science, with the number of admissions more than the sanctioned seats by very wide margins in some.
The drop in cutoffs, though marginal, will see withdrawal of admissions and a second round in many colleges. Admissions based on the second list begin on July 4.
Shri Ram College of Commerce has issued a second cut-off for commerce with a marginal drop of only 0.25 percentage points — from a range of 97.5%-99.25% to 97.25%-99%, which is likely to result in withdrawals from other colleges. Most colleges have been very cautious about reducing the cut-off in this subject. Lady Shri Ram College has lowered its commerce cut-off by the same amount as SRCC — from 97.5% to 97.25%. Kamala Nehru College, Ram Lal Anand and Acharya Narendra Dev have dropped the BCom (H) cut-off by a single percentage point.
Economics seats are available in several north campus colleges, including Hindu, Hansraj, Ramjas, Indraprastha, Daulat Ram and Miranda House. LSR and Kamala Nehru too have some seats.
After Commerce, English is the subject still available in maximum number of colleges. It is open in Hansraj, Hindu, Miranda and LSR, but the drop in cut-offs is generally low. For instance, Hansraj and Hindu have reduced the cutoff by half a percentage point each; LSR has been more generous and reduced it by three marks (0.75 percentage points); SGTB Khalsa has dropped it from 96.5%-97.5% to 94.25%-95.5%.
In sciences, Chemistry and Physics are still available. Seats are available in Hansraj, Hindu, Miranda House and Sri Venkateswara and the difference between the first and second list is more pronounced in these subjects. The cutoff for Physics at Miranda has reduced from 96.33% to 95%; at Hansraj, from 97.33% to 96.33%; and at Sri Venkateswara, from 96% to 94.33%. There is a similar drop in Chemistry as well. Seats across science courses in a majority of the off-campus colleges are also available.
The response to the programme courses — reintroduced after the rollback of FYUP — has been discouraging and the cut-offs for these, fixed without any applications, have been very high. Principals say there have been few applicants for courses that were till 2012 very popular because most still don't know they are being offered. The cut-offs have reduced in BA Programme across DU — from 82% to 76% at Deshbandhu; from 90% to 82% at Ram Lal Anand; and 80% to 72% at Shyama Prasad Mukherjee.
