It is notable that St. Stephen’s does not follow the admission process or schedule of Delhi University. Being a minority institution the college follow its own set of rules for admission and reservation.

It seems that the admission reforms has first brought metamorphosis in the process of distribution of the admission forms of the colleges. Thanks to the tacit support (& guidelines) of the Ministry of HRD and IT & Communication, colleges will be stayed away from the admission process starting from 4th June 2012, at least from the distribution of the admission forms. The offline forms for admission in various undergraduate courses will be made available to the 12 post offices in the city. A decision in this regard has been cleared by the standing committee regarding admission.
Though online mode for application will also be open for the students but offline forms can be obtained only through the post offices. Admission process for SC/ST students will be centralised, as announced by J M Khurana, Dean, Students’ Welfare, Delhi University.

Out of the campus colleges have good chance for admission as popular courses are still available there. Parents and candidates are reaching these colleges for admission.

Meawhile, teachers and college administration have advised students, seeking admission, to check before leaving for colleges. They should also check their documents and photographs for admission. The admission will take place till 7th July.

Delhi University has announced its fourth cut-off. Almost all colleges have put ‘closed’ board for most of their courses for general category students. However, Hansraj College is still open for B.Com (Hons.) course with 95.5% or more marks.  Economics(H) too is available in the colleges like Ramjas, Sri Venkateshewara, Zakir Hussain and some other colleges of out of campus colleges. Seats are also available for B.Com, Physics (H), Botany (H), Mathematics (H), Hindi (H), BA (Programme), Sanskrit (H) and some other courses.

However, seats for OBC categories are still open in almost all colleges in most of the courses. According to teachers associated with the admission process say that cut-off for OBC category is still very high and students with such high marks are not approaching to colleges for admission.

DU: Even evening colleges disappoint this time

DU’s third phase of admission at various colleges has completed today but students still have hope for admission with the release of fourth list. On the other hand most of the colleges are not in a mood to release any cut-off more, at least for general category.

Most of the colleges are either packed due to admissions beyond their capacities. If believe on college authorities only hope is those seats, vacant due to shifting of students to other colleges or courses. Students should wait and watch next few hours for the cut-off, if any, from their favourite colleges.

Meanwhile, trails for ECA and sports categories have already started in many colleges for admissions.

But the most surprising presence is SRCC in the third cut-off. SRCC, which completely closed admissions for both of its courses i.e. B.Com (H) and BA (Eco.) for general category has opened the door for Economics (H) in the third cut-off. Though the cut-off is quite high (95-98%). The college has still seats for reserved categories too in both of the courses.

LSR has still seats in Psychology with 95.5% marks. Remember it raised eyebrows of many as the first cut-off of Psychology reached to 100%. Similarly, it has seats in Sociology, Math, Statistics, BA (Programme) and some other subjects.

Hansraj College, Sri Venkateshwara, Zakir Hussian are among those where seats in B.Com, Economics and some other popular courses are still available. Some colleges have put waiting list against possible withdrawal.

Delhi Police has also nabbed three youths in this regard from Delhi University campus. However, college authorities have said that they have no idea in this regard. “There is set procedure to verify certificates of the candidates. If anybody found guilty at any stage, even during the third year of admission, his admission is cancelled without any exception. Moreover, a criminal case is registered against him”, says a Bhim Singh, Principal, KMC.

Meanwhile the city police has claimed that the several high-scorer students were in touch of the racket for admission in the prestigious colleges in Delhi University.
