This trend has been replicated in most other colleges as well.

The percentages for Botany (Honours) and Zoology (Honours) were 75 per cent and 80 per cent respectively same as last year.

The highest increase was seen in the Zoology (Honours) course at Sri Venkateswara College, where the cut-off increased from 76 per cent last year to 82 per cent this year.
"The increase in the cut-offs is due to the substantial increase in the num- ber of applications as compared to last year," said Pratibha Jolly, Principal, Miranda House.
"The increase is still conservative as compared to the large number of applications we have received," Jolly added.
The college received more than 2,000 applications for Physics (Honours).
