After a record number of admissions under this year’s first cut-off list, 61 universities at the University of Delhi are scheduled to begin the second round of merit-based admissions to their undergraduate courses starting Monday.
More than 34,800 students had entered below the first cutoff for the 70,000 undergraduate seats offered by the varsity team. Last year, this figure stood at around 23,000. With more than 354,000 applications, the university had also received its highest number of applications this year.
Admissions under the second cutoff will begin Monday at 10 am and continue through Wednesday at 5 pm. However, applicants can pay the fee until Friday night. Dean (Admissions) Shobha Bagai said: “We had anticipated more students to be admitted this year due to various factors. That is why we have extended the hours of the admission and payment process ”.
The university’s admissions team has advised students to pay the fee in advance so that errors in the payment process, if any, can be rectified before the term ends. HT had previously reported on how students had reported errors trying to pay the fee through the university portal until the last payday on the first court list.
Many principals said that by following the second cut-off list, many applicants can change universities or cancel their admissions, as the results of all entrance exams, including the National Entrance and Eligibility Test (NEET), had also been reported.
Executive council member Rajesh Jha, who teaches at Rajdhani College, told HT: “Carrying out admissions on the first court list is relatively less complex. In the lists below, students would want to cancel their admission to one university and accept admission to another and doing all of that within a three-day window is more of a challenge. ”
While the second list saw a marginal drop in limits, several popular courses are still available at various universities. For example, students who wish to study BA (Honors) in English can apply to Lady Shri Ram College (98.75%), Miranda House (98.75%), Hansraj College (97.75%), Ramjas (97, 25%) and Kirori Mal College (97.75%). %).
Similarly, BA (Honors) in Economics is available from LSR 99%, Hindu (98.75%), Miranda (98.5%), and Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) (99%). Students who wish to pursue BCom (honors) can still apply to Hindu College (98.25%), LSR (99.5%), Hansraj College (98%), Ramjas (98.75%), and SRCC at 98.5%.
Bachelor’s (Honors) in Political Science is still available from LSR (99.75%), Ramjas (98.75%), Kirori Mal College (98.75%), and off-campus universities including Gargi College (97), Rajdhani College (93.75%), and Aryabhatta College (94.5%).
