The first offline merit list for junior college admissions was announced at some colleges on Thursday and principals were not surprised with the high cut-offs.
While the merit lists for online admissions will be announced only after July 12, currently, colleges with minority quotas are filling up their seats offline.
The first cut-off for the science stream at St Xavier's College was 86.6%, while that for its arts stream was 79.6%. At SIES College of Science in Sion, the cut-offs for its vocational subjects were 92.54% (computer science) and 91.63% (electronics). The cut-off for the general category science list was 90%.
"This was bound to happen following the rise in the number of high scorers. The real drama will start when the online merit lists are announced," said the principal of a south Mumbai college. Some colleges will put up their first offline merit lists on Friday and Saturday. Colleges have to finish offline admissions before July 7.
