When the first merit list was declared, students were a worried lot because the cut-off percentage was very high. However, the principals had then said that the second list would provide relief to students. But with today's merit list that does not seem to have happened. The reason, principals say, is that there are many students who secured marks in 0. percentage. 

Explaining this, Dr Ashok Wadia, principal of Jai Hind College, said: “There are many students between two percentages and because of this the cut-off of second merit list has not reduced much. Earlier, the difference in the marks of students was one or two percentage, but now the difference is 0.1% or 0.2%.” 

Dr Tukaram Shiware, chairman, association of non-government colleges, echoed what Wadia said. Shiware informed that there are students between two percentages and many have secured marks in 0. percentage. He added that many students who want to take admission in reputed colleges are now a worried lot. 

“In reputed colleges, seats get full in the second merit list only. If students want to get admission in such colleges, then they will have to worry about it because the second list has closed in 0.% percentage,” added Shiware.
