Eye Cancellations To Get The Class Size Right
If the second cutoff brought hope with most colleges continuing
admission in most of the courses, the third cutoff may come as a disappointment.
Many colleges are likely to close several courses after the second list.
Colleges like Ramjas, Gargi, College of Vocational Studies, Atma Ram Santan Dharm
and Maharaja Agrasen are not likely to come up with another list while Kirori Mal
is going to close 10 of its 16 courses that were on offer during the second cutoff
admissions.
The principal of Gargi College, Meera Ramachandran, said: We are not likely to have
any third list. Two more days are left for admissions under the second list and
if the current trend of cancellations continues, there is definitely no third list.
Hindu College, which closed eight of its 17 courses in the second list, has seen
over admissions in many of the courses despite the high cutoff. Principal Vinay
Kumar Srivastava said: Right now, we can't say how many courses will remain open
in the third list or whether we will have another list at all. There are two more
days. In the last two days of the first-list admissions, we took 450 students. So
we can take a call on Friday or Saturday.
Coupled with comparatively lesser number of cancellation, many colleges have already
exhausted the intake capacity.
Reeling under over-admissions, SGTB Khalsa is now waiting for the cancellations
to have a class of the right strength. Barring B.Sc electronics and Punjabi (H),
all others are likely to be closed in the third list. We have admitted 30% more
than the capacity in courses like B.Com (H), Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology
and B.Sc life sciences, said principal Jaswinder Singh.
Some other colleges are also facing the same situation. Dyal Singh had more than
150 cancellations so far while Hindu had 22 cancellations. Daulat Ram, too, had
38 cancellations till Thursday 23rd June.
Miranda House is unlikely to come out with a third cutoff list. Even if we do, it
will be just for a couple of courses like Sanskrit or BA, said a college official.
The admission spree continues even on the second day of the second cutoff with LSR
admitting over 170 aspirants in these two days. LSR, which remained open for most
of the courses in the second list, is likely to come up with a third list only for
English, mathematics, psychology and political science.
We don't want over-admissions and that is the reason we are going slow.
We may see a marginal dip of 0.25% in psychology and political science, said admission
co-ordinator Ujjaini Ray.
