DU: 1st day of admission is smooth
Students search for their names in the first cut-off list at the Arts Faculty on the North Campus on Tuesday—BIPLAB BANERJEE
With the first cut-off list out, the Delhi University witnessed overwhelming rush of students, some in a cheerful mood for being selected within the first round, while others reluctantly choose to wait for the second cut-off list.
Whilst this mood swings in the campus, some of the college authorities are satisfied with “rather smooth” admission process on the first day of the admission.
Sri Ram College of Commerce, which had touched the 100 per cent cut-off in 2011, has this year received a very good response during the first day of the admission. College principal P.C. Jain said, “It was a great day with a very good response. We gave admission to 223 students as against the 501 allowed in the first cut-off list”, which includes all the categories.
Mr Jain expressed satisfaction over the process of admission. “You take best and this shows a sense of achievement for the college,” Mr Jain said. He said the first cut-off list was expected to go high. “It is bound to be high, it will always be there.”
He said that students who have reached this stage must be lauded for all the hard work due to them to reach this level.
This year, SRCC choose to keep the cut-offs for B.Com (H) in a bracket of 96.5 to 98.5 per cent, the same percentage goes for the economic (H) course.
Whereas Hindu college, which has raised its ceiling of cut-offs to 99.25 for B.Com (H) this year, was equally satisfied to accommodate 152 students in various courses on the very first day, especially with high cut-offs and admission time being limited to 1.30 in the afternoon.
The Hindu college principal, while talking about the high cut-offs, explained that in 2011 they had admitted too many students, so as a precaution with growing competition it was pushed slightly higher this year.
Though, many were disappointed and had to turn back and wait for the second cut-off list as the required percentage to be admitted in desired colleges could not match with their marks.
