Commerce cut-offs high in women colleges

Economics (H), however, hasn’t seen any significant change this year. Cut-offs for this subject in some colleges have even fallen marginally. Ritika Chopra reports.

If the examples of institutions such as Maitreyi College, Lady Shri Ram College and Kamla Nehru College are anything to by, then one can say that cut-offs for B Com (Programme) and B Com (H) in the top women colleges affiliated to Delhi University this year are quite high. Economics (H), however, hasn’t seen any significant change this year. Cut-offs for this subject in some colleges have even fallen marginally.

The biggest jump has been in B Com (Programme) and B Com (H) course of Maitreyi College, where the cut-off of the former has gone up by almost eight per cent for all the streams and by almost 10 per cent for the latter. In comparison, the increase in Economics (H) is very marginal, from 88 per cent in 2007 to 88.5 per cent this year.

The trend is pretty much the same for LSR, where the B.Com (H) cut-off has increased by 1.5 per cent but for Economics (H) the increase is only .25 per cent. IP College’s qualifying marks for the subject has fallen by a little over one per cent.

The first list for Hindi is not much different from last year’s for colleges such as Kamla Nehru, Daulat Ram College, Gargi and Miranda House.
