However, NCWEB centre at Miranda House fixed the cutoff for BA (Programme) and BCom at 88% and 92%. The same was 87% and 91% at Hansraj College.

The cutoff at Aditi Mahavidyala and Bhagini Nivedita College was at 76% and 87% for the two courses.

“The same cutoff shows that all colleges are the same when it comes to studies. Students should not go by the name of college but pick the institution which is near their house,” said Anju Gupta, officiating director NCWEB.

The admissions will begin today and will continue till July 18. The second cutoff list for NCWEB will be out on July 20.

From this academic session, the NCWEB -- which offers courses only for women students -- has added 12 new centres adding around 5,700 more seats to its undergraduate courses. This brings the total number of seats under the NCWEB to 11,700 seats.

NCWEB is preferred by students who want to pursue professional courses while pursuing an undergraduate degree to increase their prospects of getting a job. The non-collegiate students are, however, not allowed to pursue any other full-time degree course.

Students will have to submit their original certificates at the time of admission and the annual fee is approximately Rs 3,500 per year. However, no fee will be charged from students under the Persons with Disability (PwD) category.

The new NCWEBcentres have come up at Aditi Mahavidyalaya College, Aryabhatta College, B R Ambedkar College, Bhagini Nivedita College, College of Vocational Studies, Keshav Mahavidyalaya, Miranda House, Motilal Nehru College, Rajdhani College, Ramanujan College and Aurobindo College.
