At the same time, officials of the university also sought to reassure students that much reasonable cut off percentages are expected by the third list and that the high numbers were limited to only a few courses.
Students today queued up to seek admissions to their desired courses at colleges of Delhi University where despite the much talked about high cut offs a major chunk of seats were filled in some of the colleges.
At the same time, officials of the university also sought to reassure students that much reasonable cut off percentages are expected by the third list and that the high numbers were limited to only a few courses.
At the Sri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), where the 100% cut-off for non-Commerce students had sparked off much debate, only 15 seats were left unfilled in the B Com (hons) course while 11 were left vacant in the Economics (honours) course on the very first day of admissions.
"Out of 252 seats for the B Com (honours) course, 237 were filled today and out of 62 seats in the Economic (honours) course, 51 were filled," said SRCC principal Dr PC Jain.
He said the cut-offs had been quite unreasonable and were not hiked or inflated at all.
At the Miranda House, large queues of students were seen and the colege authorities almost ran out of prospectuses.
More than 400 of the over 900 total seats were filled on the first day, with some courses booked over their capacity in the general categories.
College officials said Economics, Political Science and Mathematics courses were filled above capacity, while few seats remained in the Chemistry and Physics courses in the general category.
The OBC quota, however, was still over three fourths vacant.
