DU's 2nd cutoff list out, but minor dips won't help enough
The second cut-off list for admission to Delhi University colleges were announced on Monday giving students who failed to clear the sky-high cut-offs in the first round another chance.
The second cutoff list for admission to Delhi University colleges released on Monday saw a dip of up to 2 percentage points in science courses but cutoffs for other popular subjects like economics, B.Com, English, history and political science remained upwards of 95% after a drop of 0.25 to 0.75 percentage points.
