Mandira Nayar

NEW DELHI: Delhi University's second cut-off list for admissions went up on the boards on Fridaygiving students a little window to squeeze through to a college seat. While a place in B.Com (Honours) might not come easy, for those opting for Arts and Science there is still a chance

with the cut-off marks seeing a definite decrease in these streams.

Certainly the most popular course this time roundB.Com (Honours) seats are filled at Gargi College, Acharya Narendra Dev, Atma Ram Sanatan Dharam (ARSD), Daulat Ram, Lady Shri Ram and even at Motilal Nehru College (Evening). Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) has also closed admissions to the course after the first list. The good news, however, is that here is still room in some campus colleges for B.Com (Honours), but only for those who have got an aggregate in the high 90s.

The course is available at Hans Raj College at 93.25-97.25 per cent, which is the same as the cut-off percentage in the first list. At Kirori Mal College, B.Com (Honours) is available at 92.25-97.24 per centwhich is marginally lower than the last list. Ramjas College and Indraprastha College have closed admissions to B.Com (Honours).

"The cut-off marks have come down by 1 to 2 per cent in each subject, except in the B.A Programme where the cut-off has decreased by 3 per cent. Admissions to Political Science (Honours) and English (Honours) have also been shut,'' said Manasvini Yogi, Media Co-ordinator at Indraprastha College.

Economic (Honours) seems to be following the B.Com (Honours) path. With admissions shut at Hindu College, Indraprastha College, LSR , Motilal Nehru and Maitreyi College, there is still a chance for students at Ramjas College with 86.5-91.5 per cent. At Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, Economic (Honours) will need 87.75 per cent, 91.75-92.5 at Sri Venkateswara and 80.5 at Dyal Singh College.

The cut-off marks for Commerce might not have seen a substantial change, but for those wanting to opt for History, the cut-off marks at Hans Raj College have seen a dip of 3 per cent to stand at 76-82 per cent. The course is available at 69-74 per cent at Gargi College which is lower than the first list.

Admissions to Political Science (Honours) have been shut at Daulat Ram College, Gargi College, Miranda House, LSR and Motilal Nehru (Evening). Students seeking a seat in Political Science can apply at Janki Devi Memorial College with 62-67 per cent, 71-82 per cent at Kamla Nehru and 80 per cent at Jesus and Mary College.

Psychology is available at Indraprastha College at 86-89 per cent, 87.5-91.75 at Jesus and Mary and 76 per cent at Mata Sundari.

There is still hope left for those opting for Science courses at Delhi University with the cut-off marks seeing more than a 2 per cent drop in some colleges. Acharya Narendra Dev College has seats left in Physics at 75 per cent. Physics (Honours) is also available at Dyal Singh at 73 per cent, 77.66 per cent at Gargi College, 86 per cent at Hans Raj.

B. Sc. Physical Sciences is available at Acharya Narendra Dev at 65 per cent and 79 per cent at Hans Raj.
