Now, Students Juggle With College & Course in Delhi University
By Riti, Section News
Wednesday saw a lot of hectic activity in several colleges. Not just for admissions, but for withdrawals as well. Day one of the admissions under the second list saw students turn up in large numbers to cancel admissions in one college so they could move to another one. Said Rupali Vashisht, who had gotten admission in Hindu college, "I had applied for the BCom (H) and economics (H) courses in all colleges. In the first list, I didn't make it to Hindu and had to opt for Hansraj. But now, since I've got economics at Hindu, I am waiting to cancel my admission here."
Like Vashisht, there were several others for whom the second cut-off opened the gates to their preferred course or college. This was evident from the number of withdrawals that took place in most colleges across the university. Even Hindu college, seen as the most popular college as per the number of applications it received for admission, saw students leave and join SRCC. Said a college source, "The only withdrawals happened in the BCom (H) course, where a few students left because they had made the grade in SRCC. None of the other courses saw withdrawals."
That was certainly not the case in Kirori Mal College where some students cancelled admissions as they had made it to Hindu College with its lowered cut-off in BCom (H). Sources in KMC said that out of the total 600 admissions made so far, 10% had opted to go elsewhere after the second list. "But it's a usual phenomenon and it happens every year," added a senior official.
At LSR, the withdrawals were mostly across courses, claimed college officials. At Daulat Ram too, many withdrawals were for different courses within the college. More than 25 students either left the college or changed courses. Off-campus colleges saw the same trend, with many preferring to opt for campus colleges if they had got through. For instance, Dyal Singh College saw 35 students preferring to leave as they had got through elsewhere. While DU officials claimed that there wasn't any trend as to which course saw the most movement, they did admit that economics and commerce (BCom honours) programme saw movement, along with the science courses. Added Meenakshi Sharma, "Though I got admission to the BCom programme in Daulat Ram under the first cut off, now I am getting BCom (honours) in Khalsa college, which I always wanted to do. So, I have withdrawn from this college and will take admission in Khalsa tomorrow." Sharma had got 92 per cent. Source:The Times Of India 3rdJuly2008.
