Popular courses off 3rd list

Updated on: Saturday, June 25, 2011

The third cutoff list for the undergraduate courses in Delhi University will have little on offer for general candidates in terms of popular courses like BCom (H), economics, mathematics, physics and chemistry.

While 43 colleges continued to offer BCom (H) in the second list, university sources say the number is expected to come down to less than 15 in the third list, to be declared on Sunday. It is likely to have even less options for courses like economics (H), mathematics, physics and chemistry.

However, Hans Raj will continue to offer popular courses like economics (H), BCom (H), physics (H) and chemistry (H) with a marginal dip in the third cutoff. Kirori Mal College, too, will further decrease its BCom (H) and BCom cutoffs in the third list.

"We are comfortably placed. But to rule out any vacancy due to cancellation, we will keep our economics (H) and BCom (H) courses open with a dip of 0.25% while physics and chemistry may see a dip of 0.50%," said Hans Raj principal V K Kwatra.

Among other campus
colleges, Daulat Ram is expected to have the maximum number of courses open for admissions in the third
list while Miranda House is open only for Sanskrit and SGTB Khalsa for BSc electronics and Punjabi.

Apart from Hindi and Sanskrit, the other course which is likely to remain open in most colleges is English (H). According to officials of various colleges, most of the CATE colleges, including Lady Shri Ram, KMC, Kamala Nehru, Shivaji and Rajdhani, are going to continue admitting students in the third list.

There will be very little to look forward in the science stream as most of the courses have received over-admissions across colleges. While BSC physical science, life science and botany may offer some hope for aspirants, the cutoffs are unlikely to dip significantly. While colleges like Gargi, Miranda House, SGTB Khalsa, KMC and Hindu witnessed over-admissions in science courses in the first cutoff itself, even the off-campus colleges will have little to offer for courses like chemistry, physics and mathematics.

Besides English, a few more humanities courses in the off-campus colleges are likely to offer some hope to the aspirants.

"Unless we see something completely different in the last day of the admission, there is very little left to be offered in the third list. Many colleges won't even have all courses open for OBC candidates, too," said Gargi principal
