Jul 14, 2012

New Delhi: Even after five rounds of admissions in Delhi University, a number of colleges are yet to fill seats in the reserved OBC category, as was made amply clear by a sixth cut off released by colleges.

In a majority of colleges, seats remained in the OBC category, and some brought down the cut offs by as much as four percentage points.

The University also said that many of the colleges will announce another cut off list in the coming days.

For general category students there was some surprise as well. Ramjas college reopened admission for B Com (hons) after closing it in the fifth list, asking for a cut off of 95.5 to 97.5 percent. AFP
