With 1,03,500 forms submitted over the counter, and 43,300 applications filed online, the university ended up beating the 2010 score of 1.2 lakh applications.

It’s going to be a tough call, said principals of top DU colleges, as this year the number of students who scored above 95% in CBSE Class 12 exams has also gone up. “The large number of applications does indicate that the cut-off may rise,” said a college principal. The first cut-off list will be out on June 26.
