DU Admissions 2017: Off-Campus College Campuses Witness a Sharp Drop in Cut-Offs

Delhi University’s off-campus colleges witnessed a significant drop in the cut-off percentages. The University of Delhi released the second cut-off list late on June 30, 2017. PGDAV College is the best example for the sharp drop in cut-offs. The cut-off for Computer Science was 98% in the first cut-off list, and the course saw a major drop of 5% in the second cut-off list. Besides PGDAV College, various other DU colleges like BR Ambedkar College, Motilal Nehru College and others witnessed a major drop in cut-off by 2% to 9% in some specific courses. Since there are a high number of applications this year, there has not been any major difference between the first cut-offs and second cut-offs in other popular colleges.

Colleges like LSR and Hindu College closed the applications after filling the seats with the first cut-off. One of the reasons for the drop in the cut-offs for off-campus colleges is that most of the colleges are located in the outskirts of Delhi. These colleges are not well connected to the metro. Therefore, these colleges are not enrolling enough number of students. Few courses offered by these colleges have less popularity.
