In the second cut-list released by the University of Delhi (DU) on Saturday, several courses and colleges were closed for admissions, and most courses that remain open saw a drop of approximately 0.25-0.5 percentage points in top colleges. . However, this is not the case for B.Com (Hons), where there has been a significant drop in the percentage at many universities.
The drop is most pronounced at Mata Sundri College for Women, where the B.Com (Hons) cap has dropped from 96 on the top list to 91 percent now. Even some of the best colleges, which have only marginally lowered limits for other subjects, have seen a bigger drop in the B.Com (Hons) limit.

Similarly, at Hindu College, the program cap has dropped from 99.25 to 98.25 percent. The October 14 admissions report on the university’s website reports five admissions in the unreserved category and 33 admissions in all categories. The school has 79 places for the course.

“Admission to B.Com. (Hons) generally stabilizes around the second and third lists. The first high cuts of the program were based on the experience of previous years. I am quite surprised to see that the program has been less popular with the highest scores this year and we will have to study and try to understand what has caused this, ”said Hindu College Principal Anju Shrivastava.
In the same universities, the cut of popular subjects such as Economics and English experienced a marginal drop. Hansraj has lowered its English limit from 98 to 97.75 percent, and Hindu has lowered its economy limit from 99.25 to 98.75 percent. SRCC has lowered its B.Com (Hons) limit from 99.5 to 98.5 percent, but kept the Economy limit the same as the first list at 99 percent. The limit for science subjects also dropped below that of arts and business subjects. At Dyal Singh College, for example, the limit for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics was lowered by 3, 3, and 4 percentage points, respectively.
Overall, while several major universities including Hindu, SGTB Khalsa, IP College for Women, Gargi, and Kamala Nehru closed admissions for many courses, others such as Lady Shri Ram, Miranda, Ramjas, Kirori Mal, SRCC, and Hansraj still have the most open courses.
Political science, history, English, and bachelor’s programs have become some of the most popular choices. While political science has closed in 23 universities, history has closed in 15 universities and English in 13 universities. Among science subjects, mathematics has become the favorite and the course is closed at 11 universities.
At Hindu College, 10 of the 21 courses have been closed. Similarly, SGTB Khalsa has closed 13 courses, Kamala Nehru College has closed nine courses, and IP College has closed six courses.
