Dip between 0.5 to 1 per cent seen at various top colleges

New Delhi: After Delhi University came up with 'realistic' cut-offs in the first list, it was imperative that the second list would see a dip. However, applicants were disappointed on Sunday after the second list showed a marginal dip between 0.25 to one per cent for various course and colleges.

Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) has yet again topped the cut-off chart, with 98.25 per cent for BA Economics (Hons), a meager drop of 0.25 per cent from the first cut-off. Meanwhile, BCom (Hons) is available at 97.3 per cent, down from 97.75 per cent.
