I’m waiting for the next cut-off list of DU

As the first cut-offs were released by all colleges, surprisingly in the evening, the hopes of many were shattered into smithereens. Coincidentally, most Delhi University-affiliated websites crashed too due to a server overload as students from all over the country were frantically clicking the link cut-offs list I 2014-2015 - a matter of life and death!

I was one of them. At that point in time I had every possible list open but ten minutes later, I was sitting dejected. Despite having scored top-notch marks, I had qualified for English honours in only one college of North Campus. So disappointing! But having been advised to take what comes my way, I decided to get myself admitted to this college.

As I entered the college premises at about 8.40am, I was smugly patting myself on the back for having pre-planned things and assumed I would probably be the first one to get admitted. I almost fainted when I saw a 200odd crowd before me. I had joined the never-ending line of the cutoff breakers. After a long wait, I received an application form that I filled carefully and returned to stand in the queue. Though my seat does seem confirmed in one college (hopefully!), I am still waiting anxiously for the next cut-offs to be announced; maybe there is still a seat left for me; a seat of my choice!
