Delhi University’s top colleges have validated all those admission seekers still holding out for that elusive seat by re-opening admissions to their most coveted courses with significantly reduced cut-offs in the fourth cut-off list released late on Thursday night.

Withdrawals

Hindu College’s Economics (Honours) which opened with a 99.25 per cent upper limit and closed shop within the second cut-offs, has re-opened admissions with a cut-off in the range of 97.75 to 94.25 per cent. The college was forced to re-open admissions owing to withdrawals.

Ramjas College has also re-opened admissions into its Economics (Honours) with a significantly reduced cut-off in the range of 95.75 to 92.75 per cent. Its B. Com (Honours) is also available with a marginally reduced cut-off at 97.5 to 95.5 per cent, with B. Com going at 96.5 to 94.5 per cent.

The all-girls Miranda House has also re-opened admissions into its coveted Economics (Honours) course with a reduced cut-off in the range of 96.25 to 95 per cent.

Hans Raj College has kept open both its commerce courses with marginal reductions. Economics (Honours) here now requires a percentage in the range of 96.25 to 95.25 and B. Com (Honours) is there for the taking from 98 to 96 per cent.

Jesus and Mary College has also re-opened admissions into its Psychology (Honours) course with a reduced cut-off in the range of 94.5 to 93.5 per cent.
