Last year, Lady Shri Ram College’s first cut-off was 100 percent for three programs and 30 programs have the first cut-off of 90 percent.
Delhi University’s Admission Committee Chairperson Rajeev Gupta said, “From whatever information we are getting right now, it appears that the cut-offs will increase. But more can be said once the results have been properly analyzed. The colleges will now have to analyze and decide. We are also waiting for the remaining state boards to release their results, after which we will have more clarity.”
The Delhi University would start the under-graduate admission process from August 2 and the last date of registration would be August 31. The DU cut-off list is prepared according to the marks scored by the students in Class 12th board exams.

Hindu college Principal Anju Srivastava said that it is expected that this year less popular course’s first cut-off would also go high. She said, “If there are such a large number of students who’ve got 95% and above, the campus colleges are all likely to be entangled in catering to these students. The cut-offs of the less popular courses are also likely to be very high. We have limited seats and if CBSE and state board results are both like this, overall we can expect a very high cut-off.”
The previous cut-off list of Hindu College was:
BA Hons (English) – 98.5 (Gen.), 95 (SC) and 95 (ST)
