The College offers merit differential relaxation to all Christian students.

This year, the merit differential relaxation between the general category students and those applying under CNI category is up to 25% as compared to last year’s 20%.

“We wanted to encourage more aspirants who come under the Church of North India (CNI) to apply for admission and, hence, the merit differential relaxation was kept at 25% this year,” St Stephen’s College principal John Varghese said.

For instance, the cut-off for general category commerce students applying for BA Economics (Hons) is 98.75%, it’s 73.75 % for those belonging to CNI.

The difference between the cut-offs of general category students and Christian denomination students, including Christian ST, is between three and 10 percentage points.
