In a fresh notification, the University administration asked its colleges to come up with two more cut-off lists exclusively for OBC students on August 9 and August 11 respectively.

The colleges have also been asked to completely do away with the 10 % lowering limit as compared to general cut-offs, for OBC students, a move aimed at allowing OBC category students to get seats in the colleges.

"The requirement that OBC candidates must score within 10 % of the cut-off marks for the general category no longer applies," the notification said.
