NCWEB cutoffs drop by up to 10 points

NEW DELHI: The Non-collegiate Women’s Education Board (NCWEB) announced its first cutoff list on Friday. The requisite scores have dropped by up to eight percentage points for Bcom, and by up to 10 percentage points for BA programme.

Anju Gupta, the director of NCWEB, said that these were “more realistic” cutoffs. “Our first cutoffs this year are closer to last year’s second cutoff. We real- ised that many of the students who had been admitted under the first cutoff last year withdrew and shifted to regular colleges in the next cutoff list. We hope that these students will stay on,” she said.

The NCWEB is one of the “nonformal” education centres at the Delhi University, where female students who are residents of NCT Delhi can get admitted to either BA or Bcom programmes. The students attend classes just once a week at the centres which are slightly lower than the cutoffs
