New Delhi: As the admission procedure is all set to begin in various Delhi University colleges here from tomorrow, Sri Ram College of Commerce, Ramjas College and Shaheed Bhagat Singh College on Monday released its first cut-off lists which will be deciding the fate of over two lakh DU aspirants.
As per the first cut-off list of Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) which was released today after four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP) was scrapped last week, students seeking admissions for BCom (Hons) should have at least 97.5% to get the admission. For BA Economic (Hons), the cut-off is 98.25% for commerce students and 97.25% for science and Humanities students under General category. For SC and OBC students, the cut-off range was between 94.25 per cent and 96.50 per cent.
Additional eligibility criteria by colleges, which had been done away with before FYUP was rolled back, has been brought back. SRCC has imposed the rider that students should have studied mathematics in Class XII and have at least got 70 per cent in board exams, PTI reported.
Delhi University's Ramjas College also announced its first cut-off list for the 2014-15 academic session with percentage set for admission in B.Com (Pass) course under three-year undergraduate programme as high as 98 per cent for Commerce students. The cut-off for BA Economic (H) for commerce students is 97.50% and that for science students is 96.50%.
Whereas in Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, BCom (Hons) students will need 96.5% to get admission here.
St Stephen's College that had declared its cut-off lists on June 17, will now have to redo the lists.
Reportedly, some provisionally selected students in Economics will be dropped as seats have reduced in St Stephen's College.
As part of the return to the old structure, colleges may also issue additional admission criteria for some courses.
Cut-offs in other colleges are also likely to be high in honours programmes because of the reduction in the number of seats in these courses due to the switch back to the three-year structure. Moreover, as the Delhi University has allowed all students who make the cut-off to get admission irrespective of whether they had applied, colleges are playing safe with the first list.
The declaration of the cut-off lists of the above DU colleges came after the row between the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the DU over the controversial four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP) finally came to an end.
A week behind schedule due to the row over controversial FYUP, admissions to DU's academic session 2014-15 will begin from tomorrow giving respite to over 2.7 lakh students who had earlier applied for admission to DU under the now scrapped FYUP to more than 54,000 seats in 64 colleges of the varsity. The admissions were earlier scheduled to take place on June 24.
As per reports, the cut-off percents are high in the first list due to number of honours seats being reduced compared to last year because of the switch back to 3-year courses and the other reason is since the colleges have little idea about demand for particular courses since candidates had applied for FYUP courses.
Who can apply: Even if a student didn't register by filling up the centralised DU form, but meets the cut-off list criteria for a particular course in a college, they can fill up the form and take admission.
