2nd cutoff drop at LSR:
Several colleges closed admissions for 2nd list due to a lack of seats and accommodations. However, certain colleges were open to 2nd list admissions. LSR is one such college open for 2nd list admissions and did drop its cutoff marginally. Hence, LSR’s marginal drop was by 0.5 to 1 percent.
B.A. Economics dropped the cutoff by 1 percent. Political Science and Psychology cutoffs also dropped by 0.5 percent in the 2nd cutoff.
A college official said that the past LSR legacy of keeping a 100 percent cutoff was maintained in the academic year 2020. However, the underlying factor for this is to avoid over admission as the varsity lacks accommodation facilities. Suman Sharma, principal of LSR said “ 25 applications were received for Economics honors, but all of them stood rejected failing the criteria.” She also added that zero applications this year is astonishing as Economics is one of the popular courses.
