Admissions for Delhi University's third list to start from 18 October, dip in required marks seen
NEW DELHI: The admissions for UG courses under the Delhi University's third cut-off list will commence from Monday. The aspirants will have time till October 21 to apply for the course of their choice with 25 October being the last day to pay the fees.
Over 51,000 candidates have already secured admissions under the two lists with colleges also over-admitting students to certain popular courses. The varsity released the third cut-off on Saturday with the required marks for admission to courses seeing a decline of 0.25 per cent to 1.5 per cent and popular courses still available in colleges.
Even though the cut-offs continue to remain on the higher side, there is a glimmer of hope for students as seats are still available. After the third cut-off, a special cut-off will be declared on October 25 for candidates who were eligible but could not or did not take admission in the earlier three cut-offs.
According to the guidelines, the declaration of special cut-offs will be subject to availability of vacant seats in the respective programmes. It will be the last declared cut-off of the respective programme in a college.
"For example, if in a college, the first cut-off for B.Sc (H) mathematics for a specific category was 98 per cent and the college did not declare the second and third cut-off for the programme in that category with seats remaining vacant, then the special cut-off for the particular course in the specific category will be 98 per cent," according to the guidelines.
