DU 3rd Cutoff List 2020: Consiring the shuffling between colleges through withdrawals and new applications, aspirants for admissions to Delhi University colleges can expect a minor reduction in cut-off percentages for multiple courses in DU third list. On October 21, the University closed the admission applications against DU’s second cut-off list. Even as the final number of admissions under the second list is yet to be arrived at as fee payments will continue until Friday, October 23, a few college principals said that they are likely to close admissions in all courses. Kamala Nehru College was one of those which closed admissions for unreserved seats in the highest number of courses — nine — after the first list. Principal Kalpana Bhakuni said that while they are still awaiting the completion of fee payments, it is likely that admissions to almost all courses will close for now. She further added, "Apart from Sanskrit, we are likely to fill our seats in all courses in this round of admissions. In other years, there used to be several rounds of admissions for reserved categories but this year, we are already through with admissions for all reserved categories. Of course, this may change after the third and fourth lists come out in other colleges and we might see withdrawals and movement between colleges at that time.”

Meanwhile, in Khalsa College, admissions closed in 13 programmes after the first list. A very few withdrawals in the second list were seen according to Principal Jaswinder Singh. “We had a 96.75% cut-off for unreserved seats in BCom (Honours) in the first list and received 120 admissions against our 60 seats. In the second list, we had around 20 withdrawals and we are still overcapacity. We had four withdrawals in English which had also closed after the first list and one or two in a few other courses,” he said.

The course which had seen a big fall in cut-off percentages in the second list in prominent colleges was BCom (Honours). In Shri Ram College of Commerce, which has a total of 626 seats for the programme, the cut-off had dropped from 99.5% to 98.5% in the second list. While it had only received 101 eligible applications in the first list, this has increased to 330 after the second list, leaving many seats open for a third list. In Economics, where its cut-off stayed stable at 99%, the number of approved admissions increased from 83 to 135, against a total of 155 seats. According to the official reports, until Wednesday evening, i.e. October 21, 62,172 canddiates applied for admission, the admission of 7,546 was approved and 15,698 paid fee.
