Students today rushed to secure seats in colleges of the Delhi University that lowered the cut-off percentages yesterday with responses varying across courses and colleges.

While many were relieved by the dip in the cut-offs and some withdrew admissions made after the first list to shift to the subject college of their choice, many were still not able to make it to their favoured courses.

Interestingly, the much sought after B Com (H) and Economics (H) courses were still not near the full mark in colleges like Kirorimal and Hansraj, that had received lukewarm response after the first list due to cut-offs at par with Sri Ram College of Commerce and Hindu college.

As many as 300 admissions were made at the Kirorimal college today. The maximum, 51, made it to Statistics (H). While Eco (H), which registered nine admissions after the first list, saw 48 students taking admission, the B Com (H) course saw little movement with only 3 students coming in. However, courses like History and Zoology have been booked beyond capacity in KMC.

"At the Hansraj college too, the overall response was good, especially in science courses, with almost 300 admissions being done today", principal VK Kawatra said.

Admissions in Botany, Zoology, Physics and Chemistry crossed 45 each, but BA Economics (H) saw a little over 20 admissions with a good number of its 105 courses still empty.

The colleges are also expecting shifts of students with a number of them cancelling their admissions to move to other colleges. Dayal Singh college, which saw almost 175 admissions today, has also witnessed nearly 125 cancellations, principal I K Bakshi informed.
