Delhi University cut-offs: No need to panic!

Colleges under Delhi University have announced slightly higher cut-offs this year says Team Careers 360

Delhi University has announced the first cut-off list for various programmes in different colleges. Since the colleges have to admit all students who fall within the announced cut-offs, colleges have erred on the side of caution and have announced slightly higher cut-offs.

For example, Hindu College's cut-off for B.Com (H) last year was 93.25 %. This year the minimum cut-off is 95.5.  But don't let these figures fool you. The fourth cut-off list last year admitted students with 87%.  However, some programmes such as the Hindu's Economics (Hons) always attracts students with highest percentages. Admissions closed by the second list with almost similar cut-offs. This was also the case with B.Com (H) at SRCC.

So those of you who have scored between 87% and 93% - do not lose heart. You might still get into one of the coveted colleges by the second or third lists. You might have to settle for B.com (H) instead of Economics (hons). So keep the sprits up. The cut-offs may go up by one or two percent for some pricy courses. But for the bulk of colleges and programmes, cut-offs will hover around the same figures as last year.

Getting admission: The admission process is admittedly easier this year. Based on your percentage you can approach a college and seek admission. To help you assess where you stand we have put up all the four cut off lists here. Go ahead and make an informed choice:
