As expected, the cut off was extremely high considering the record of over 2.5 lakh applications accepted this year by the university.u00a0 Both Hindu College and Bhaskaracharya College of Applied Science have kept their cut off in the bracket of 96.75-99.75 and 97-99.75 for Commerce and B Tech courses respectively. Last year Hindu College was the front runner among DU colleges for having a high cut off range of 96.25 to 99.25 per cent. Sri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), one of the most coveted institutions of the varsity, that had sparked much debate in 2011 by putting its first cut off ceiling at 100 per cent, chose to keep its cut off for Commerce and Economics at 97 and 97.5 respectively. Students aspiring to study Commerce as their major will have to fight a tough competition to get admission into their college of choice as almost all of them kept a high range of cut off for the subject. The commerce cut offs for almost all colleges were above 90 per cent with Hansraj having a cut off range at 96.75-98.75, Lady Shri Ram College at 97.75-98.75, Shaheed Bhagat Singh at 96-99 and Sri Venkateswara at 96.75. For the coveted Economics course, Hindu has put its cut off at 97.5 per cent, while LSR declared a cut off of 97.75 per cent. Other high cut offs were of Hansraj (97.25), Miranda House (96.5-97), Kirorimal (95.5-98.5) and Ramjas (94.5-97.5). English and Journalism courses, admissions for which were carried out through common entrance tests until this year, also saw a high cut off. While the cut off for English ranged till 98.5 per cent with the highest being at Hindu college, the first ever cut off marks for the Journalism course were above the 90 per cent mark in all the six colleges offering the course. Commerce remained the most popular course on offer as did Economics, with the highest cut offs being found in these subjects. In Science courses, Maths and Physics remained the most popular. Among the B Tech courses to be offered from this year, Computer Science and Electronics saw high cut offs considering their popularity among the applicants.u00a0
