A mad scramble for admissions at DU

The first cut-off list created quite a flutter among the Class 12 students. Mostly hovering around 90% and above, the students meeting the cut-off requirements, wanted to take admission in the colleges of their choice as soon as possible. The reason was that our parents were of the opinion that admissions in colleges were on a first-come-first-serve basis.

What this means is that the students who fill the forms early will be assured of a seat. For instance, if 150 seats attracted 200 students, then these 200-odd students will get admission, and the college will not accept more applications.

There would also not be any consequent cut-off lists. This fear was the reason for the huge rush at North Campus. What added to the confusion was the wrong cutoffs put up by some colleges, which made for a very stressful situation for the aspirants from far-off places.

Delhi University later clarified that this news was incorrect. Any student meeting the required cutoff at his/her desired college would get admission, no matter how many seats had already got filled up,thus reducing the mad scramble for securing a seat.
