NEW DELHI: In the third cutoff list released by Delhi University (DU) on Saturday, several courses across colleges were not offered for admissions under the reserved categories as well.
Popular courses like BA (H) political science did not open for most of the categories under the third list in colleges like Bhagini Nivedita College, Aryabhatta College and Gargi College.
At Lady Shri Ram College for Women, BA (H) sociology remained closed for the ST and EWS categories while it remained open for all the other categories.
BA (H) economics at College of Vocational Studies was closed for the SC, ST and OBC categories.
Kirori Mal College (KMC), on the other hand, saw BA (H) economics close for the EWS category while BA (H) English closed for the SC category. Additionally, BA (H) history in the college closed for the SC, ST and OBC categories and BA (H) geography closed for the SC category while the rest remained open.
Several principals had earlier said that this year colleges were seeing a rush in the reserved categories from the initial cutoff lists itself.
After the release of the second cutoff list in the varsity, Suman Sharma, principal of Lady Shri Ram College for Women, had said, “For the first time, we are seeing certain reserved category seats being taken before the unreserved category. This is not something that happens usually as admissions under the categories tend to continue till the last few lists.”
This year, the university is expected to release a special cutoff list before the fourth list is announced. The varsity has specified that the list will be dependent on the availability of seats. After the second list, 51,000 out of the 70,000 seats are already taken.
