Bar Set To Be Raised At DU, Up To 5% Increase Likely In Cut-Offs, Glut Of 95 Percenters
By akanshaa, Section News
If St Stephen's cut-offs were a shocker, you may be in for some more surprise on June 25 when other colleges announce their first cut-offs. Going by the early trend of applications being compiled by colleges, the cutoffs, especially for commerce courses, are set to rise. According to colleges, students can expect the cut-offs to shoot up by at least 1-5% in the first list across all courses this year.
According to data collated by DU from the common preadmission forms, nearly 450 students with an aggregate of more than 95% have applied for BCom (H) in Shri Ram College of Commerce, while the number of seats (including the reserved ones) in SRCC for the course is just 442. The situation is no different for BA (H) economics. While the college has received more than 390 applications from students having scored more than 95% in class XII, it has only 109 seats in this course. Nobody from the college commented on the expected cut-offs as the admission committee was still compiling the applications. Colleges agree that this year they have been flooded with aspirants having 95% and above marks and this may cause the cut-offs to spiral even in the science courses. ``I had expected the cut-offs won't rise much, but they are soaring. From our estimates, nearly 700 aspirants with 95% and above have applied in North Campus colleges. The cut-offs for commerce courses in most colleges here may go beyond 95%,'' said Jaswinder Singh, principal, Khalsa College, where the cutoff for BCom (H) was 92.5% and for economics (H) was 92% last year. ``The cut-offs for physics may also see a steep rise. It may be 89% in our college,'' added Singh. The first cut-off for physics was 80% in the college last year. Source: Times Of India Bar set to be raised at DU Click On "Full Story" For More...
Hans Raj College received nearly 30,400 applications for BCom (H) through the pre-admission forms, of which 2,050 are of 90-percenters. ``The cutoffs in our college may rise by 0.25-0.5% in the commerce courses and by up to 1% in others,'' said S R Arora, principal, Hans Raj.
Colleges may come out with higher cut-offs also to keep the number of admission-seekers in check. Ramjas College principal Rajendra Prasad, said, ``We have to be cautious while preparing the list. If the number of students who qualify is very high we will have an infrastructure crisis.'' Considering the large number of high-scorers this year, popular colleges expect to fill all commerce seats in their first list itself. A senior faculty member of LSR College who is also on the admission committee said, ``Even the students from state boards are scoring very high these days. The competition is getting tougher and a couple of programmes would witness a saturation point.''
