When the Delhi University announced its results, students expressed worry at the possibility of a higher cut-off as over 72,000 students scored over 90% and 12,000 students scored 95%. Now, that fear and worry has turned into reality after St Stephens announced its first cut-off list.

For admission to B.A. (Hons) Economics, an applicant from the Commerce stream needs 98.75%, Science stream needs 97.5% and from the Humanities stream one needs 98% to be considered just for the interview. For the BA programme, general students from Commerce and Science streams need 98% , and from Humanities need 95.5%. For mathematics, the cut-off for Science and Commerce is 97.5% and Humanities is 96.5%.

For B.A. (Hons) English, Humanities students need 97.5%, Commerce students need 98.5 and Science students need 98%. Each subject also has specific riders like for economics, a 90% in mathematics is mandatory to be called for the interview. BA (Hons) History, Science and Commerce students need 98% while Humanities students need 96.5%. For BA (Hons) Philosophy, Commerce students need 97%, Humanities students need 95% and Science students need 95.5%. The cut-off for BA (Hons) Sanskrit is 65% for all streams. The cut-off for B.Sc. Chemistry is 96% and B.Sc. Physics is 97.33%.

"I have scored 82 per cent and as per the cut-offs of the last few years, I don't have a chance to get into any good college in the first five lists. I don't know what to do. Please suggest me something," said Yashjeet Singh, 16, a resident of Dehradun.

Similarly, hundreds of other aspirants, in the same score league, were looked clueless. "I want to pursue BA (honors) in Psychology and with hundreds of students scoring full marks in the subject, I don't think I will get the course in DU," said Shikha Sharma. Of 63, only 16 colleges offer the subject in DU.

"The class XII marks will automatically translate into steeper eligibility cut-offs for applying to DU colleges. It's so unfair with students like us who could not touch the score of 90s," said Baljeet Singh, who has scored 75 per cent marks. Last year, the cut-offs were as high as 99.66 per cent.
