DU Second cut-off 2019 Less than 90%
Manoj Khanna, Ramjas College principal, said, “The number of seats remaining in courses is very few except for science. So, while there has been a reduction in percentage in the range of 1% to 1.5% points for those courses, for most humanities courses, seats are almost full.”
SRCC principal Simrit Kaur said, explained the reason behind the reduction in cut-off marks, “The second cut-off was also decided on the basis of data we received, like in the case of the first list. In order to avoid excess admissions, we have to go with a conservative approach.”
