On June 24, 2019, the third merit list for the degree college admissions were out and most of the reputed colleges from the city did not see any major dip in the cut-off scores from that of the earlier list. More so, many colleges across the city have not even gone below 85 per cent, thus showing that there is tough competition in the race to get admissions for degree college.

While self-financed professional courses continue to show great demand with high cut-offs; traditional courses such as Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com), Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) to have seen hardly any dip in the third merit list cut-offs.
