The way Delhi University cutoffs have been spiralling, it had to happen someday. On Tuesday, it did. The first cut-off for BCom (H) at the Shri Ram College of Commerce reached an unbelievable 100% for the non-commerce aspirants.
This means, humanities and science students wanting admission in BCom (H) at SRCC will need to have 100% marks in their best-of-four subjects! In other words, no non-commerce student will be admitted in the course, at least in the first list.
The first cut-off list for the admission to undergraduate courses in Delhi University, released on Tuesday, brought more shock than hope. Science courses played hard-to-get with Daulat Ram College hiking its cutoff for chemistry (H) by as much as 13%. Gargi College followed suit and increased the cutoff marks for chemistry (H) by 12%, closely followed by SGTB Khalsa which raised its physics (H) cutoff to 92% this year ? a hike of almost 10% from last year. At Miranda House the cutoffs for chemistry (H) and physics (H) went up by 8%.
"Last year, most students admitted in science courses chose to continue with their courses instead of dropping out like in previous years. In fact, many colleges faced overcrowding in classrooms. Most colleges had kept science cut-offs at a reasonable level, aiming to admit more students than the intake so that they were not left with vacant seats if students dropped out," said Meera Ramachandran, principal Gargi College.
The fear of over-admission plagued all colleges in absence of pre-admission forms this year. With no way of knowing how many students would take admission in a course, the best way for colleges to tread on the side of caution was to inflate cutoffs.
While SRCC has completely closed the doors for students who did not study commerce in school by keeping the cutoff at 100%, the hike for commerce students is "reasonable". The college is not sure if there will be another list. "We have hiked the BCom (H) cutoff by 0.75% and economics (H) cutoff by 1.75%. The cutoffs should go down in the second list but our first cutoffs for commerce students are quite reasonable. And there are chances of filling up all seats in first go," said P C Jain, principal, SRCC.
Non-commerce wanting to study BCom (H) are unwelcome at Hindu too. The college has announced a cutoff of 99% for BCom (H) for non-commerce students though the cutoff for those who have studied commerce is 95.5%.
