Maharani’s College has declared its first cut-off on Monday. Those aspiring for a B.Com degree need to have 90% or above, while other popular courses in humanities too have seen a rise in the cutoff marks. The college has received 10,000 applications against a little over 2,000 seats for various degree courses, a 35% rise compared to last year. The high cut-offs will only allow the creamy layer to seek admission in the five-decade old institution. “The high cutoff was expected with the kind of phenomenal Class XII results this year,” said Kusum Jain, principal, Maharani’s College.
Over 3,000 students had applied for B.Com (pass) course against a total of 240 seats, and another 500 students applied for B.Com (honours) which has 60 seats. One could gauge the level of competition as students with even 89.99% were not able to secure a seat. In the reserved categories—OBC, ST and SC—the first cut-off has gone beyond 75%. Students who have failed to secure a seat in the college, are now turning to the private colleges for admission. The college however, is yet to consider the 10% increase in the seats since it hasn’t received the circular from the Rajasthan University. Once it does, a few more students can hope to make it to the college. “I was quite sure to get admission in this college in the second list, which is scheduled to be announced in a week’s time,” said Rituka Sharma, who has scored 85% in commerce.
The list for humanities has sprung the biggest surprise with a substantial increase in the cut-off in comparison to last year. “It has touched an all time high of 76.9% for the pass course in general category. Even for OBC and ST the cut-off remains at 73.23% and 72.62% , which is reflecting a growing interest in arts courses,” said Jain. Against 600 seats for humanities,over 3,500 students had applied. Science stream has also seen an average rise of 1-2% in the cut-off marks. In almost all degree courses in BSC (honours) in Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Zoology, the cut-off has hovered around 70%.
