Commerce, demand for science courses same as last year

NEW DELHI: Delhi University’s top colleges have registered a slight increase of around 1 per cent in Commerce, while the percentage is almost the same for Science courses as last year in the first cut-off list for admission that was released here on Monday.

The cut-off for B.Com. (Honours) at the prestigious Shri Ram College of Commerce has gone up marginally from 94.5-96.5 per cent last year to 94.75-98.75 now.

For a seat in the same course at Hans Raj and Hindu College, students will require 94.25-96.25 per cent and 94.25-96.5 per cent, respectively. Sri Venkateswara College has seen a small increase from 93.5-95 in 2006-07 to 94-95 per cent this year.

However, the cut-off mark for B.Com. (Hons) at Lady Shri Ram College stands at 94 per cent, down from 94.25 per cent last year.

Interestingly, at Indraprastha College for Women, the cut-off percentage for B.Com. (Hons) has shot up from 89.5-93.5 in the last session to a much higher 93-96.75 this year.

For B.Com. (Pass) -- which a large number of students have opted for this year -- the cut-off percentage has either remained the same as it was last year or gone up by 1 or 2 per cent.

At Gargi and Ramjas College, the cut-off percentage has remained 87-89 per cent and 90 per cent, respectively.

However, the cut-off for B.Com. (Pass) has gone up by 2 per cent at Daulat Ram College to stand at 90-95 per cent. Sri Venkateswara College, too, has raisd the cut-off from 90 per cent in 2006 to 91 per cent now.

Commenting on some out-of-campus colleges where the cut-off percentages for Commerce have gone high, Deputy Dean Students’ Welfare Gurpreet Singh Tuteja said: “Most of these colleges have registered an overall increase of 5 per cent. That’s because brilliant students have applied to all colleges. For most of these out-of-campus colleges, only the second cut-off list will be effective when there will be a drop in the percentage and students will apply.”

In the prestigious Economics (Hons), the cut-off at SRCC has gone up slightly from 92.25- 95.25 last year to 93-96 for this academic year. The same course at Sri Venkateswara has seen a 0.5 per cent increase to 93.5-94. 25 per cent compared with 93 per cent last year. At Ramjas College, the cut-off is 88-93 per cent.

Economics (Hons) in colleges like LSR will be available at 93.75 per cent in the first list. It will be 92-96.5 at Hindu College this time round.

At Hans Raj, it is 93-94 per cent, slightly higher than 92.75 last year.
