NEW DELHI: While students might have been waiting for the fourth cut-off list for admissions to be announced to try and grab a seat, Delhi University colleges are hoping that they attract more aspirants to Science courses. "Ramjas College has 200 seats in Science, but we have hardly been able to fill up 50 seats. It is a pathetic situation. Other colleges are facing with the same situation. The aura that there was about Physics a few years ago has disappeared. Students would rather cough up huge sums of money for an engineering degree in a private college than study pure science,'' said Head of the Admission Committee at Ramjas, P.N. Ray. Not alone in their quest for students to fill up their seats, Hans Raj College has also got six to seven seats in the Science courses to fill up. "Physical Sciences, Botany, Life Sciences are still left to be filled. But it is true that students are not flocking to Sciences,'' said Hans Raj Principal S.R. Arora. However, other colleges like Acharya Narendra Dev -- essentially a Science college -- have filled up their required quota of seats, but want more students. And with the University investing huge money building up Science laboratories, students will get a chance to learn more update subjects. "Chemistry (Honours) admission was very low this time. I don't know why. The other course that has surprisingly not been very popular this time is Applied Physical Sciences. Most students don't realise that it is like the Computer Science course, at least in our college. So we are putting up posters to tell students that it is really a B.Sc. General Computer Science course. The change has made a difference to this course,'' said Acharya Narendra Dev College Principal Savithri Singh.
