In the science stream, the highest cut-off is for Physics (Hons) at Hindu College — 98.33 per cent, as compared to 98 per cent last year

For BA (Hons) Journalism, the highest cut-off is 98.5 per cent at DCAC, the same as last year. Lady Shri Ram College for Women (LSR) has the highest cut-off for Psychology at 98.75 per cent. The college has marginally increased its cut-off in all courses, except Journalism and Philosophy, where the cut-off has dipped by 0.25 and 1 percentage points respectively.

While SRCC increased its B.Com (Hons) cut-off by 0.75 per cent, its Economics cut-off has only gone up by 0.25 per cent. “We can accommodate 250-odd students for B.Com, but for Economics, we only take 63 students in general category, so we need to keep the cut-off high,” said SRCC principal Simrit Kaur.

Besides Economics, another subject for which cut-offs are high is B.Com (Hons). Both SRCC and Kirori Mal College have set the cut-off at 98.5 per cent for the course. Last year, the B.Com (Hons) cut-off at KMC was 97.5 per cent.

For Economics (Hons), Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) declared the highest cut-off of 98.75 per cent — an increase of 0.25 per cent from last year. For the popular English (Hons) course, the cut-off remained below 98 per cent, despite the course getting the highest number of applications (1,42,970). The highest cut-off for the course is at Hindu College at 97.75 per cent.

Explaining the high cut-off for Political Science at Hindu College, principal Anju Shrivastava said, “Our past experience is that there is usually over-admission in the course. The sanctioned strength from the general category is only 19, but last year we had 80 admissions in just the general category. It’s in demand, so it’s natural that we had to keep the cut-off high,” she said.

Many top Delhi University colleges marginally increased their cut-offs as compared to last year for most subjects. However, there are courses in which the cut-off has remained the same or dipped marginally.

Political Science receives highest number of applicationsThe course received the second highest number of applications this year — 1,30,240 — after English.
