The students thronged the Delhi University campus on Tuesday to see whether they have got through in the first cut-off in their choicest colleges. Those not able to make it in the first list have pinned all their hopes on the second cut off list. The admissions will start from Wednesday.

“I scored 90 per cent in Class 12 exams, but after seeing the first list, I have come to know that I cannot make it to B.Com Honours in any of the good colleges. I will wait for the second list,” said Harpreet Thiara, a student.
While popular colleges upped their entry criteria to percentages in the high 90s, many off-campus colleges maintained or lowered the marks as compared to last year. Commerce, economics and English Honours courses remained the most sought-after with the highest cut-off percentages. Science courses had lower cut-offs as compared to these popular courses, but saw the highest increase compared to last year.
“The cut-offs increased by two per cent for humanities and up to five per cent in science stream. The CBSE results were good this year, so the cut-off is higher,” deputy dean, students welfare, Dr Gurpreet Singh Tuteja, said.
The admissions start from Wednesday till Friday. The students need to bring Class 10 and 12 certificates and marksheets, migration certificate and other documents with self-attested photocopies and passport-size photographs. The second list will be out June 26 while the third list will come on July 1.
Meanwhile, the centralised sports trials were conducted on Tuesday.
