At HR College, it was 91.86%, up from last year's 90.9%, and at RA Podar College it rose from 92.36% to 92.9%.

“All the results were good this year, students got good scores with the best-five scheme and the sports marks also helped,” said Suhas Pednekar, principal, Ruia College.

The bigger surprise, however, came in the form of a drastic jump in cut-offs for the arts stream. Although at St Xavier’s College, it rose by 1 percentage point, at Mithibai and SIES, it rose by 14 percentage points and 17 percentage points respectively.

Meanwhile, as the first list left even high scorers disappointed, students will get one betterment option, through which they can hope for a more preferred college when the next list is announced on August 1.
