<div>The Delhi University’s first cut-off list for admission to the 2016-17 academic session was out on Wednesday night, indicating that getting into a college on the campus will be tough.<br /><br />Unlike last year, no college listed 100% cut-off in the first list. But Ramjas College announced 99.25% for BCom (Honours), the highest among all DU colleges. The cut-off is 98.75% for BCom and 98.5% for Economics (Honours) at the same college.<br /><br />Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), College of Vocational Studies and Kirori Mal were asking for scores as high as 98% for the BCom (Honours) course.<br /><br />At SRCC, the bar was set a shade higher than the 97.375% in last year’s first cut-off list. Kirori Mal indicated a similar trend, higher by a fraction of a percentage point. At the College of Vocational Studies, the minimum required this time was the same.<br /><br />These marks are the aggregate of scores of one language and three best elective subjects taken by students for their Class XII board examinations.<br /><br />Typically, the cut-offs drop as colleges release their subsequent lists. The second cut-off list is expected on July 2.<br /><br />For Physics (Hons) at Kirori Mal College, the first cut-off is 98%, up from the last year’s 97% in the first list, Gargi College is asking for 96% for Physics (H) in the general category, the same as last year.<br /><br />St Stephen’s, which released its list earlier this month, is asking for a minimum 97.33% marks for Physics.<br /><br />Over-admission is a major concern as all students scoring the cut-off mark or above will have to be allotted seats.
