DU admissions: Students rejoice ‘modest’ cut-offs
2 July 2014 5:14 AM IST
The cut-off for Delhi University were released on Monday evening. Speculations were rife that the colleges will come out with sky-rocketing cut-off following the scrapping of four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP) with some even predicting that it will go as high as 100 per cent. However, the initial trend put a full stop to all such notions. The cut off for Sri Ram College of Commerce, which comes out with highest cut-off every year was 98.25 for Economics, an increase of .75 per cent as compared to last year.
The admission seekers are also rejoicing at the ‘modest’ cut-offs released by the colleges. ‘I am still waiting for more colleges to release their cut-offs. But the cut-offs this year is not very high as I thought it would be’, said Sharmishta, who wants to study Economics from LSR. Though the cut-offs have seen a hike as compared to last year, some feel that last year, cut-offs were deliberately put low in order to fill increased number of seats. ‘The reports in the media pointed out that cut-offs will be very high, but its not. It’s a slight raise. The authorities deliberately set low cut-offs last year to fill the vacant seats’, said a student not wishing to be named.
Following the scrapping of FYUP, there were reports that the cut-off will be very high as the number of seats have decreased with scrapping of some courses. The increasing number of students scoring above 90 per cent in CBSE was also believed to be one of the reasons for high cut-offs.
