The laurels that go to a college can be credited not only to excellent academic results but also to prizes and awards won by its different 'Societies'. The talent might come in handy for the adroit. Though, not everyone gets through the prestigious colleges, trying in other institutes too can take one through where percentages cannot!

The enabling principles are ability, adeptness in the concerned field and at least a 'bunch of certificates'. This implies that national, zonal and state level players stand a greater chance. The quotas cover basketball, volleyball, shooting, badminton, athletics, football, swimming, chess, squash, lawn tennis, yoga, golf, music, debating, theatre et al.

While St. Stephen's, Ramjas and Kirori Mal are known for their exceptional talent in theatre, trials may turn out to be stressful because of stiff competition.

From last yeal: the details of sports and ECA have to be filled in the ICR forms itself while prior to that, contenders had to run from one college to another for a separate form.

At last, 'experts' in their field can forget about the percentage game, and instead, 'play ball' and get ahead!
