Popular DU colleges reopen courses; fifth list likely
NEW DELHI: The reopening
of admissions in colleges like Shri Ram College of Commerce, Hindu and
Miranda House and that, too, in a sought-after course like BA (honours)
economics has resulted in a very unusual situation for the fourth list
admissions on Friday. 'Popular' colleges are witnessing constant
movement of aspirants among them, with a large number of withdrawals
after the declaration of the fourth list.
While SRCC admitted six students in BA (H) economics on the first day of the fourth cutoff admissions, the real action was at Kirori Mal College that saw as many as 16 withdrawals in economics, which was closed after the second cutoff admissions. But BCom (H) lost the maximum number of aspirants at KMC — 22. There are also withdrawals in Sri Venkateswara, Hindu, Gargi and Miranda House as well.
"We are hoping there would be more withdrawals in BCom (H) as we have admitted much beyond our capacity right at the first list itself. For 62 general seats, we had admitted over 100 students, which today came down to 100 after a few withdrawals," said the principal of Gargi College, Meera Ramachandran.
At Hans Raj, both BCom (H) and economics admissions picked up pace on Friday after a decrease in the cutoffs by 0.25%. According to college sources, a majority of the aspirants came from Hindu, KMC, and Jesus and Mary.
The fourth list has opened up new possibilities such as KMC reopening admissions in economics, and Miranda and Sri Venkateswara keeping them open in the fifth cutoff list. "The problem happened with SRCC reducing the cutoff marks. We had closed economics, but now with the withdrawals, the number of students has once again fallen below intake capacity. We will have to open admissions again in the fifth list," said an admission committee member of KMC.
While KMC recorded 40 withdrawals and Sri Venkateswara 12, other colleges also witnessed withdrawals. With Hans Raj dropping its BCom (H) to 96% from 98%, sources from Hindu said many might cancel their admission.
Admission chaos at Maitreyi
NEW DELHI: There was much chaos at Maitreyi College on the first day of the fourth cutoff admissions after authorities found that Delhi University had printed the wrong cutoff score for BCom programme offered at the college in the fourth cutoff list.
The cutoff for this course at Maitreyi as listed in the list released on Thursday was 85.5% to 90%. However, the actual cutoff is 88.5% to 90%. The error resulted in over 40 aspirants flocking to the college for admissions and authorities could be seen frantically clarifying the mistake to disappointed candidates.
The principal then informed the university and received a corrigendum an hour later from the registrar. This finally pacified the candidates.
