There wont be much impact on overall admission process for the traditional graduation courses like commerce, arts and science as seats and the number of divisions are high. But certainly, the cut offs for the special courses like B.sc Blended or B.sc in biotechnology where there are limited seats will have a tough competition this year,” said Rajendra Zunjarrao, principal, Modern College of Arts Science and Commerce, Shivajinagar.
