Queries at the help desks and long queues for document verification were a common sight at Delhi University colleges on the first day of admission on Thursday under the second cut-off list. Students were also hoping that the percentages would come down further in the subsequent cut-off lists.
The second cut off list was announced on Wednesday night with a marginal drop in few courses while majority of the north campus colleges closed admission for unreserved category for popular courses. The criteria of marks deduction for different boards remained the maximum confusing factor for students."I am looking forward to taking admission in Gargi College but the college is not counting functional English elective with general English amongst the top 4 subjects.
"However, other colleges are readily counting both of the subjects separately," said Yarzuq Bilal, a student from Jammu and Kashmir, wanting to pursue History honors.
Similarly, a DU aspirant from Karnataka State Board said, "I want to pursue B.Com (Hons). The board I come from holds a subject named as Basic Mathematics but the university requires business mathematics instead. So that entails the deduction of a percent which reduces my aggregate to 97.25 per cent".
