First list for degree courses out today

Updated on: Wednesday, June 22, 2011

The first merit list for admissions to degree colleges is out today. While city colleges are expecting a rise in cut-offs in self-finance courses, most seats in the traditional courses have already been filled with their own students. However, securing a seat in the top rung city colleges for self-finance courses might be tough for those who have scored even in the 80s.

Several students from the commerce background who are lining up for admissions to self-finance courses are bound to lose out in the most sought after colleges. Sunil Mantri, principal of NM College of Commerce and Economics, said, “We have only BCom in Accounts and Finance (BAF) and Bachelors in Management Studies (BMS). The number of applications from high scorers is very high in these two courses. So, cut-offs are bound to rise by at least 2-3% in self-finance courses.” Last year, the first list at NM for commerce students in BMS closed at 90 per cent.

Even HR College’s cut-off in the two courses has risen by 2-3 per cent. This year, the cut-off for BAF is 93.4%, 3.4% more than last year. The cut-off for BFM is 88.3%, when it was 87.1% in 2010. Principal of KPB Hinduja College of Commerce TA Shiware, said, “Students have applied in large numbers for the 60 seats in self-finance courses like BBI (BCom in Banking and Insurance and BAF). We have only 60 seats and over 600 have applied.”

Last year, the cut-off for BMS was 90% (science) at St Xavier’s College, and 96.4% at HR College. Others like BBI, BAF, BCom in Financial Markets (BFM), BSc in computer science or IT saw cut-offs ranging between 83% and 93 per cent.
