In DU’s 2nd cut-off, expect most courses open but slight dip

The second cut-off is likely to be announced on Saturday, on the basis of which admissions will begin on Monday. Out of a total of 59,730 applications, 22,186 have been approved and 11,248 applicants have paid the fee and completed their admission so far. Lady Shri Ram College, which had declared highest cut-offs at 100 per cent for Political Science, Psycho-logy and Economics courses, will see all three subjects open for admission in the second round. “But the drop in cut-offs will be marginal because we don’t want to risk over admission. Two of our other courses will likely be closed in the second list,” said principal Suman Sharma, without revealing the names of the courses.
