As admissions on second day after the first cutoff list slowed down and seats remained vacant across courses, Delhi University aspirants can expect the minimum marks required to come down in the second list to be announced on July 4.
Few students usually qualify under the first list because of the high cutoffs. The university will release five lists in all.
“The second cutoff list will surely come down. But we will be able to say definitely on Saturday after the admission under the first list is over,” said an official of the admission committee at Venkateswara College. Admissions will go on till July 2 under the first list.
The college has seen 176 admissions out of a total 1,089 available seats. Even those admissions were for BA programme (94%), Political Science and Botany (92%) — courses with lower cutoffs compared to other courses. Around 84% seats are vacant.
