Desperate students ready to study any course in DU
5 July 2014 6:19 AM IST
With many colleges closing admissions, students who are desperate to get into Delhi University are ready to study any course in any college. Avni Gupta, who has now taken admission in Miranda House said: ‘The second cut-off is still high. I wanted to study economics and English honours course, but I don’t think I will be able to qualify. So, I have now enrolled for a BA (Pass) programme.’ Neeraj Parihar who is seeking admission in Motilal Nehru College said he will be happy to get admitted in any course in DU. ‘I wanted to study B.Com honours, but if I get admitted into any course in Delhi University, I would be happy,’ Parihar said. Delhi University is the one of the most prestigious universities in the country admitting over 54,000 students in its undergraduate programme.
With 78 colleges affiliated to the varsity, admissions are on for 63 affiliated colleges. Another student, Ishab Gupta said: ‘I scored 94.75 percent in my class 12 exams, but I don’t think I will be able to get admission into the B.Com honours course. Now, I am thinking of changing my course.’
The high cut-offs have made it difficult for students to get admission into their desired courses. The colleges also have an additional eligibility criteria, which has made admissions tougher.
‘I scored 80 percent in class 12 and was eligible for a political science honours programme, but because of the additional eligibility criteria, five percent will be deducted and I am no longer eligible,’ Lalit Deshwal said. Rajshri at Venkateshwara College said: ‘Due to the extra eligibility criteria of the college, I have failed to get admission in the political science honours course.’
The students who have otherwise qualified for the cut-off can take admission up to 7 July between 9 am to 1 pm. The cut-off percentages for admission to popular courses in Delhi University did not drop remarkably in its second list even as a some colleges closed admission for most courses.
While Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) closed its admissions for B.A.(Honours) Economics, the drop in cut-offs for Commerce honours course was by a mere 0.25 per cent.
In Hindu College, admissions for History, Political Science, Hindi, Sanskrit, Maths and Statistics honours courses have been closed. The drop in cut-offs for Commerce, English and Economics honours courses was marginal. Most of the courses were closed for admission at Kirori Mal and Gargi colleges, while popular girls college Lady Shri Ram College has declared admissions closed for four courses -- B.A. pass, Hindi, Philosophy and Psychology. While eleven colleges closed admissions for English Honours course, 16 were closed for Political Science honours course.
Out of the three colleges that declared a cut-off at 100 per cent for Computer Science (H) course, only Shyama Prasad Mukherjee College reduced its cut-off by a significant margin of 5.5 per cent for Arts students. The other two colleges-ARSD and Acharya Narendra Dev colleges reduced the maximum percentage only one and two per cent respectively. Much to the delight of students keen to get admission in Journalism Honours, the course continued to remain open except in Kamala Nehru College. Students can take admission into colleges based on second cut-off list from Wednesday till 7 July. Ageencies
