DU Admission Rush Despite Marginal Dip in CutOff

New Delhi: The marginal dip in the Delhi University's third cutoffs has not stopped colleges to witness a lot of rush on the first day of admissions for the third list.

SRCC, which had exhausted all seats in BA (H) economics and BCom (H), reopened admissions in economics following eight withdrawals in the second list. It lowered the cutoff by 0.25% and 14 candidates turned up. According to officials, the number is likely to go up with three more days left for admissions.

Another North Campus college, Daulat Ram � where seven courses are open for general category � admitted 136 aspirants. According to media coordinator Ira Pandit said that the rush was maximum for BA programme as we admitted 33 candidates, followed by BSc (H) botany with 13 students. Sanskrit, which received a lukewarm response in the first two lists, saw nine admissions on Tuesday.

At KMC, the rush was primarily for BCom (H), which is closed in most of the colleges. Bhim Sen Singh, principal of Kirori Mal College, said, that they have nearly exhausted the seats in BCom (H). Forty-two students have been admitted as against 43 seats. There are still three more days left for admissions.

The South campus colleges also witnessed hundreds of students queued up for the popular courses. Sri Venkateswara College witnessed the maximum rush, admitting 238 students on Tuesday. Dr Nirmal Kumar, admissions convener for the college, said that most number of students turned up, was for the commerce courses. The college admitted 109 students for BCom (honours) and 33 for BCom. The college is open for admissions in 10 courses in the third list. He added.

Nearby, Moti Lal Nehru College admitted over 100 students with the maximum rush for BCom and BA programme, said admissions convener Dr P Sengupta. The college is admitting students for these two courses besides BSc physical science and BA Sanskrit (H).

The day also witnessed a significant rise in the number of OBC admissions. While DR has filled up 154 of its 290 seats, Venkateswara filled 128 of its 296 OBC seats. Off-campus colleges like Lady Shri Ram and Gargi, too, registered a good turnout in OBC admissions.
