The outcomes of the CBSE (central board of secondary education) class 12 board examination has been outstanding this year. The number of students attaining 90 percent and above marks (but less than 95 percent) was also very high.

While the total number of ruled seats for undergraduate programs in DU is almost 70,000, over 2.45 lakh students have enrolled with Delhi University for admission as on Wednesday. What will be the admission procedure this time?
There would be much hue and cry as the cut off will certainly be higher this time, at least in the early three lists, Deshbandhu College Principal Rajiv Aggarwal told Outlook. Colleges will have to take extra safety as even minute percentage points will be crucial.
Cut off will indeed be higher by at least 1 percent this year. Another justification for a higher cut off could be the chance of a large piece of students wanting to study in DU colleges instead of going abroad for higher education in view of the Covid-19 pandemic, says SGTB Khalsa College Principal Jaswinder Singh.
