Sky high cut-offs in Mumbai colleges leave students pondering

Mumbai: Even 90 percent did not seem enough for students aspiring for a junior college seat after the fifth cut-off list was declared here on Wednesday.

At some of Mumbai's well-known colleges, the difference between the first and fifth cut-off list was only one percentile.

Mumbai's most reputed college for Science stream, D.G. Ruparel College, lowered its cut-off by a mere one percentile in the fifth cut-off.

The cut-off for the first admission list at the college was 96.55 and for the fifth list it was 95.38 percentile, much to the disappointment of many aspirants.

St. Xavier's College too said the same story. The cut-off for Humanities stream dipped by just one percentile from 90 in the first list, to 89 in the second list.

The cut-off for the first merit list at H.R. College of Commerce and Economics was 91.59 percentile, which dipped to 89.8 in the fifth list.

The State Education Department has, however, said that it may consider a second round of admissions if seats remain vacant even after the first round.

Sheila Tiwari, Deputy Director of Education, Mumbai division said, "We have asked all colleges to prepare a list of vacant seats after admission procedures are completed on Thursday."
