The story titled ‘11,000 admissions under 1st cutoff list’ in the edition dated June 22, 2018, incorrectly quoted the media coordinator of Gargi College instead of Kamala Nehru College.

The correct information is: A media coordinator for Kamala Nehru College said BA Programme will be closed while Geography (Hons), History (Hons) and Psychology (Hons) will have a minimal dip in the second list.
