DU Admission 2018: Here What You Can Expect From Second Cut-Off List
The candidates can expect the Delhi University second cut-off list by tomorrow evening. The cumulative cut-off list expected to be released by late in the night on June 24.
The admission process in various colleges based on the second cut-off list will be held from coming Monday to Wednesday, i.e, June 25 to June 27.
According to most experts, the second cut-off may see a dip of .25 to 3 percentage points. Still, the popular courses like BCom (Hons) and BA Economics (Hons) will see a marginal dip of .25 percentage points.
But, the cut-off may see bigger differences in other subjects.
Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) principal Simrit Kaur told Hindustan Times that the dip in cut-off in the two sought after courses of the college - BCom (Hons) and BA Economics (Hons) - won't be more than 0.25 percentage points, and she also said for BCom (Hons), the second cut-off is likely to be 97.3%.
In the first cutoff, SRCC announced 97.75% for BCom (Hons) and 98.50 % for BA Economics (Hons).
The Delhi University announced its first cut-off list on June 18 for merit-based undergraduate courses in the 2018-19 academic year, recording a drop in the minimum required marks as compared to the last year.
The highest cut-off this year is 98.75 per cent for BA (programme) in Lady Shri Ram College. Delhi College of Arts and Commerce has a cut-off of 98.50 per cent for BA (Hons) in Journalism, while LSR College has a cut-off of 98.25 per cent for BA (Hons) in Psychology.
Last year, the highest cut-off was 99.66 per cent for BSc (Hons) in Electronics in SGTB Khalsa College. In humanities stream, Khalsa College had set the highest cut-off at 99 per cent for BA (Hons) in Political Science.
In science stream this year, the highest cut-off was 98 per cent for BSc (Hons) in Physics in Hindu College. Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College also had a cut-off of 98 per cent for its BSc (Hons) in Computer Science course.
On June 19, which was day one of admissions, the Delhi University's server came under severe pressure and the DigiLocker, a government-owned public cloud storage where certificates and documents were stored, was not integrated with the varsity portal.
The second day and the third day of the admissions went off smoothly, said officials.
The second cut-off is expected on Sunday and the officials are expecting a huge rush at that time.
According to the admission rules, applicants need to study the cut-off list, select courses and colleges on the university website, take printout of the admission slip and finally approach the respective colleges with the slip and required documents.
Yesterday was also the last day of ECA trials for almost 18,000 students.
