Fourth list: Seats still left in top-draw BCom

There is some hope left for those who were not able to get through in the first three rounds of admissions in Delhi University There are still a few seats left in several colleges all over the city, including coveted ones in north and south campus for popular courses like English(H), History(H), Hindi and Political Science(H).

Colleges like Hans Raj, Hindu, Kirori Mal, Moti Lal Nehru, PGDAV Ram Lal Anand, Ramjas, Satyawati Co-ed, Khalsa, Zakir Husain and Deshbandhu still have seats available in different courses. While in Hans Raj admissions are still open in BCom(H), Mathematics(H) and Sanskrit(H), Hindu has declared a fourth list for BA Programme, BCom(H), English(H), History(H), Mathematics(H) and Sociology(H). The cutoffs marks have further dropped by 1-2 per cent.

But the fourth cutoff list still managed to throw up a few surprises. Delhi University's fourth cutoff list for academic year 2008-2009 has turned the BCom(H) admission prediction on its head. This course was tagged as one of the most sought after subjects at the time of common form analysis. However, this seems far from the truth as many top campus colleges continue to remain open for admission to BCom(H).

Commerce courses

Hansraj College, Hindu College, Kirori Mal College and Daulat Ram College - which are some of the most popular colleges for BCom(H) after Shri Ram College of Commerce - are the four north campus institutions that have dropped their cutoff by 0.25 to 1 per cent in the general category Hindu College, which had in fact the highest number (23,850 candidates) of applications through the centralised form for this course, has decreased its qualifying marks from 93.5-96.5 per cent to 93.25-96.25 per cent. Off-campus institutions such as Maharaja Agrasen and College of Vocational Studies have brought down their cutoff percentage by another .5-1 per cent.

Science courses

Science courses have still not found many takers. According to the fourth list, there are still seats left in popular science courses like Physics(H), Chemistry(H), Botany and Electronics(H).
