Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Khalsa College sprung a surprise in the science stream with a cut-off of 99 per cent for its B.Sc (Hons) Electronics course. At 98.33 per cent, the college also has the highest cut-offs for B.Sc Physics and B.Sc Chemistry.
The best news for science students is that barring SGTB Khalsa College, which has reserved the maximum number of seats for Sikh students, all other Delhi University colleges have managed status-quo when it comes to this year’s cut-offs.
Unlike last year’s cut-off of 100 per cent for B.Sc (Hons) Computer Science, the required marks for the course this time have dipped to 98 per cent at PGDAV College, followed by 97.25 per cent and 97 per cent at Hans Raj and Indraprastha Colleges respectively.
There is good news for those aiming for B.Sc (Hons) Physics too. The cut-offs in colleges like Hindu and Kirori Mal is 98 per cent, followed by 97.66 and 97 per cent at Ramjas and Hans Raj respectively. There has also been only a marginal increase in the cut-offs for B.Sc Mathematics and B.Sc Chemistry.
Last year, the same for B.Sc Chemistry was 97.33 per cent. Ramjas is seeking 98 per cent for admissions. The silver lining here is that colleges like Hans Raj, Hindu and Kirori Mal have kept their first cut-off at 97.33 per cent.
However, the percentage required to make the first cut in B.Sc (Hons) Mathematics witnessed an increase of one per cent. This time, it is 98.5 per cent at Ramjas College.
Yet, there is a host of options for those wanting to study mathematics at colleges like Hans Raj, Hindu, Lady Shri Ram and Kirori Mal. All have kept their cut-offs between 97 per cent and 97.5 per cent.
