Due to the increase in the number of high scorers, it is likely that there will be a rise in the cut-off percentages for admission in various undergraduate courses across the nation.
“While few seats have been increased under the economically weaker section (EWS) quota, it will still be difficult for students to find a spot in the desired course and college as the cut-offs are expected to increase,” says Pankaj Arora, former OSD (admissions) and professor, department of Education, University of Delhi.
The cut-off lists in most Delhi University colleges start with 100% and due to the increased number of high scorers, the seats may get filled up in the initial few cut-offs.
“The increased cut-offs may not allow students to join a course of their choice, but the higher education institutes (HEIs) across India have enough seats to accommodate everyone,” said Venugopal KR, vice-chancellor, Bangalore University.
The vice-chancellor also highlighted that this yeat, it would be difficult to conduct entrance examinations for admission into various colleges due to which students may not get their desired colleges.
