Third cutoff out tonight but not many options remain

-

ADMISSIONS Students can opt for offcampus colleges where the minimum marks may dip

Giri said he expects a third list for almost all courses, except for Mathematic­s (Hons), Physics (Hons) and Political Science (Hons). “Out cutoff may drop by over 0.5 percentage points for general category students,” he said.

At Bharati College, Mathematic­s (Hons) is expected to be reopened for general category students, with a cutoff of around 88.5%. Honours courses in Bcom, Botany, Chemistry, and Computer Science are also expected to be available at Acharya Narendra Dev College, albeit there are only a few seats left.

“We have less than about 100 seats vacant in all... Our cutoffs will not drop by more than 0.5 percentage points,” said Ravi Toteja, the vice-principal of the college.

FEE WINDOW OPEN TILL FRIDAY

Meanwhile, students admitted under the second cutoff have extra time till Friday noon to pay admissions fees, multiple principals of constituen­t colleges said.

Admissions under the second cutoff list were completed on Wednesday and students had until noon on Thursday to pay the admission fees. But at least four different college principals said the last date was extended to give enough time to applicants to complete the process.

“Some colleges made mistakes while uploading the approved forms, others did not finish uploading in time. So we got an email from the university today that the time to complete payments was extended till Friday noon,” Giri said.

Mukti Sanyal, principal of Bharati College, said colleges were supposed to upload the forms of all the students whose admissions has been approved on the portal for them to complete the payment process. “Some colleges, mine included, did not finish on time. So they extended the deadline,” she said.

Ashutosh Bhardwaj, officer on special duty (admissions), did not respond to calls and messages.

Hindustan Times had earlier reported that almost half the seats in DU colleges were filled by Wednesday and the number is expected to increase by the time all payments are processed. The MAC Girls Hostel houses 50 outstation students. There is no hostel facility for male students
