Those applying to BA (Hons) with major in Mathematics need at least 65 per cent in Maths in their Class XII exam.

For Delhi University (DU) aspirants from outside the capital who could not meet the sky-high cutoffs, Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) was an alternative choice because of its relatively lower cutoffs. This year, however, hopefuls may not find relief as AUD has increased its cutoff by as much as 5 per cent for general category and 15 per cent for SC candidates in many courses with Commerce students from outside the National Capital Territory (NCT) requiring a perfect score if they want to apply for BA (Hons) with a major in English, Psychology, Sociology, Social Science and Humanities.

The first cutoff was released by the university on Monday night. For students outside the NCT, the cutoff for Sociology has seen a rise of 4 per cent over last year, Psychology and Social Sciences, and Humanities have seen a rise of 3 per cent each and English cutoff has risen by 2 per cent.

But the largest jumps are in the cutoffs for SC and ST candidates. The largest jump of 15 per cent is in the cutoff for Scheduled Caste candidates outside the NCT for BA (Hons) with a major in Social Sciences and Humanities.

For Arts students, the cut-off stands at 85 per cent (the lowest) whereas for Commerce students applying to the course, the cutoff is 90 per cent (highest). For SC candidates outside the NCT, the cutoff has risen by 11 per cent in BA (Hons) with a major in Mathematics.

Similarly, for NCT candidates applying for the same course, there is a 10 per cent jump for Scheduled Tribe candidates. They will now need a minimum of 55 per cent (for Arts students) and a maximum of 60 per cent (for Commerce students). Science students of the category require 59 per cent as their best of four scores.

Those applying to BA (Hons) with major in Mathematics need at least 65 per cent in Maths in their Class XII exam. The same criteria applies to those who want to major in English. The Mathematics department has released separate cutoffs for ST candidates, which was missing till last year.

Like DU, AUD too has separate stream-wise cutoffs. Even for courses like Maths and Economics, the advantage lies with the Arts students.
