Delhi University announces first cut-off list for UG courses

New Delhi : Delhi University (DU) on Friday announced its first cut-off list for admission to undergraduate courses.

“There are few main points which we have to focus on. For the students who have applied this year in DU, firstly, whatever course they have taken in class 12th, the best three or four subjects are taken into consideration,” said Prof Rajeev Gupta, Dean of student welfare and Chairman of admission.

“Secondly, we see how many students are at the high end in their best 3-4 subjects. Thirdly, according to the last year cut off percentage, how many students had taken admission. Was there over admission or under admission,” added Gupta.

Gupta stated, “The way the cut off list is declared in Delhi University is about demand and supply. This year, as in many boards examinations were not conducted and the schools have extrapolated the results of students based on the internal examinations they have conducted.

“Students have done good in their internal assessment examination and that is why they have got great results. As the result that has come is great and students have scored well then it is natural that the cut off is high as more students have a high percentage, he added.

According to the notification issued by the Delhi University, five cut off lists would be out. Subsequently, two other cut off lists–Special cut off list and Special Drive–would be out.
