New Delhi: Delhi University released the fourth cut-off list for asdmission to its four-year undergraduate programme Sunday, even though admission for a majority of the courses in the colleges closed.
Like the earlier cut-off list, the dip in the percentages required in the Class 12 examinations for admission to different bachelor courses did not decrease very significantly -- the average cut-off mark is still above 90 percent, and the list showed only a decrease of 0.25 to 1 percent.
Lady Shri Ram College for Women (LSR) has a few seats left in the History course. A student should have scored at least 94.25 percent in Class 12 to be considered for these seats.
Most of the colleges in the south campus like Swami Shraddhanand College, Gargi College and Sri Aurobindo College have declared admission to all courses closed.
Explaining how the seats were all taken so soon, S.K. Kundra, principal of Swami Shraddhanand College, told IANS: "Since we are an off-campus college, the cut-offs are kept low normally, compared to the on-campus ones."
There are, however, some course like History in Kirori Mal College and Geology in Ram Lal Anand College for which admission is still open, on the basis of the fourth cut-off list.
"There were cancellations of admission in several of the courses, but since the seats for Geology had not been filled, we have declared the fourth cut-off mark," Vijay. K. Sharma, principal of Ram Lal Anand College, told IANS.
Ram Lal Anand College has 31 seats for Geology.
The cut-off for Bachelor of Technology (BTech) in computer science at Hans Raj College for students who did not study science in Class 12 is still as high as 99 percent.
Similarly, if a student who studied the humanities subjects in Class 12 wishes to take up Commerce during graduation, Hindu College would require him or her to have scored 99.25 percent in the school-leaving examination.
Shri Ram College for Commerce (SRCC) has seats to fill for students under the Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST) and people with disability (PwD) categories, in both Commerce and Economics departments.
The university introduced the four-year undergraduate programme this academic session. Under the new programme, students will be required to study 11 foundation courses in the first two years with the main subjects under disciplines I and II, and the applied courses.
