With the highest mean admission percentage among all boards, the report of the DU committee to examine admission-related issues records that, at the time of its compilation, 34.13% of students from the Kerala board admitted to its undergraduate courses were admitted to Hindu College.
The committee, which has recommended that undergraduate admissions to the university be conducted through a common entrance test, has done a detailed study of colleges and courses to which students from the boards with highest admission numbers — CBSE, the Kerala board, the Haryana board, and the Rajasthan board — were admitted. The data covers 47,306 admissions done under the first three cut-off lists.
The Kerala board, which had the highest mean admission percentage of 98.43%, had high numbers of admissions at some of the most popular colleges.
