NEW DELHI: Delhi University on Monday announced its first cut-off list for merit-based undergraduate courses in the 2018-19 academic year, recording a drop in the minimum required marks as compared to last year.

The highest cutoff this year is 98.75 per cent for BA (programme) in Lady Shri Ram College. Delhi College of Arts and Commerce has a cutoff of 98.50 per cent for BA (Hons) in Journalism, while LSR College has a cutoff of 98.25 per cent for BA (Hons) in Psychology.

Last year, the highest cutoff was 99.66 per cent for BSc (Hons) in Electronics in SGTB Khalsa College. In humanities stream, Khalsa College had set the highest cut-off at 99 per cent for BA (Hons) in Political Science.

In science stream this year, the highest cutoff is 98 per cent for BSc (Hons) in Physics in Hindu College. Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College also has a cutoff of 98 per cent for its BSc(Hons) in Computer Science course.

St Stephen's College was the first to release its cutoff. For commerce students, the cutoff for Economics (Hons) was pegged at 98.75 per cent, and 98 and 97.5 per cent for humanities and science students respectively. The cutoff for English (Hons) was 97.5 per cent. Shri Ram College of Commerce on Monday released its first cutoff for BCom Honours and BA Hons in Economics for the academic year 2018-19 with the highest score being 97.75 and 98.50 per cent respectively for general category.

The varsity threw open its admission portal for aspirants of various undergraduate courses on May 15. The registration for these courses ended on June 7.

The university has, for now, announced a total of five cut-off lists with the notification for the first cut-off scheduled to be issued on June 19.

Last year, DU cut-offs had seen a dip as several boards that announced results before the CBSE had done away with the moderation policy. But any way, the first cut off was not for those who had scored below 90% marks. With the cut off marks of this year, as well, the notion stands true.
