In the limits released by St Stephen’s College on Tuesday, Economics (Hons) had the highest at 99.25% for Commerce students, 0.5 percentage points higher than last year. Humanities and Sciences students would need 98.75% and 98% respectively to apply for Economics.
Business students would also need a 99% to be eligible for the History, English and Bachelor program. In what could be a sign of the general limits of DU, there has been an increase in the percentage cut in the 11 subjects offered by the university.
In this year’s class 12 CBSE board results, the percentage of those scoring above 95% had soared from 1.47% last year to 3.24% this year. DU officials had said this could affect the outages.

Among Humanities subjects, Philosophy (Hons) has seen the largest percentage jump from 97% for Humanities students last year to 98.75% this year. The Bachelor’s Program, History and English have seen an increase of 1%, 0.5% and 0.25% respectively compared to last year, for business students.
The math limit has increased for Science and Commerce students from 97.75% and 97.5% respectively last year to 98% this year, but there has been a marginal 0.25% drop for Humanities students who want to opt for mathematics. Now they will need 96.5% at their best of four.
All science subjects have also experienced an increase in cut-off points. The percentage of PCM (physics, chemistry and mathematics) required for Chemistry (Hons) and Physics (Hons) has increased from 96.33% and 96.66% last year, to 96.67% and 97.66% percent this year respectively.
Similarly, the cut-off points for the Bachelor Program (Computer Science) and Bachelor Program (Chemistry) have increased from 96.66% and 95% to 97.67% and 96.33% this year, respectively.
Since it is a religious minority university, St Stephen’s reserves 50% of the seats for Christians and therefore has a separate admissions process. Unlike most other DU colleges that admit students solely on the basis of cap, St Stephen’s assesses students on the basis of their grades, a written test, and an interview.
However, in light of the Covid pandemic, the university had decided not to conduct face-to-face interviews this year for its undergraduate (UG) admissions process, switching to online mode. The university has also eliminated the written test component.
Those meeting the eligibility criteria must download a form from the university website and email it to the email id provided for each applicable course on the university website along with their grade sheets.
Cuts for the remaining DU colleges are expected in mid-October, according to DU officials.
