There will be no respite for high cutoffs in Delhi University admission 2016 colleges with BA (honours) English likely to see a new high. Maximum number of applications (1,15,786) have been received for this course this year, followed by BA programme with over 98,000 applications and BA (honours) Political Science too crossing the 90,000 mark.
The online registration for the undergraduate Delhi university admission 2016-17 ended on Wednesday at 5 pm and as per data till that time the highest number of applications have been from Delhi. The payment of registration fee continued till 12 midnight and a few thousand more candidates joined the growing number of Delhi University 2016 aspirants.

The number of applications from persons with disability once again remained less than that of the total number of seats. As against 1,620 seats only 1,184 aspirants filled the online form. The competition gets tougher even in the sports and ECA category as over 18,000 aspirants are now vying for 2,700 seats as against 16,000 plus applicants last year. Among the reserved categories the highest number of applications are from OBC students which is close to 50,000 this year.
The next step is the Delhi university will send the Delhi university admission 2016 data to the colleges and the colleges will work out the cutoff for the first list. The first list is going to be issue on June 30 at 9 am and admission 2016 will also commence on the same date.
Apart from English, political science and BA programme, courses like BCom (honours), BCom programme, economics, physics and chemistry will remain "exceptionally high" predicts a principal of a North Campus college, adding, "the first cutoff list is only for the top 10% of the applicants."
