While addressing media, Shobha Bagai, dean admissions, said, 'the rule was based on the belief that science students score more than humanities and would take a major chunk of seats in BA programmes which are meant for humanities students.

Most of the colleges have agreed to this as well.'
To determine their eligibility and merit, applicants from the SC/ST categories will be given 5% relaxation.

However, the relaxed marks cannot be dropped below passing marks.
