New Delhi: The Delhi University(DU) has extended the time for admissions under the third cut-off list till 4 July as the university’s admission portal faced technical snag on Monday.
The last day of admission under the third cut-off list was Tuesday. However, from 8:30 AM onwards, the site became non-functional due to which students could not get their admission slips and could not finish their withdrawal process.
Colleges bore an empty look while many worried students gathered in north campus. As per a university official, the problem occurred due to a “cable theft” near Vishwavidyalaya metro station, adding that the deadline has been extended. This is the third such glitch since admissions began on 19 June.
The university on Friday issued its third cut-off list with many prominent colleges not releasing any cut-offs for some courses. Over 33,000 admissions have taken place to over 56,000 seats in the varsity.
Shri Ram College of Commerce has not issued cut-offs for its courses in the general category. A dozen colleges have closed admissions for BCom (Hons) after the first two cut-off lists. Some of these colleges are Bharti College, Lady Shri Ram College, Kirorimal College, Maitreyi College, Daulat Ram, etc.
Many popular colleges still issued cut-off for the courses like English and Economics. Lady Shri Ram College offered English Honours and Economics at 97.25 and 97.5%, while the same two courses were offered by Hans Raj College at 95.75 and 97%.
Shri Ram College of Commerce, which teaches only two courses (Economics and B.com Honours), closed admission in both by the second cut off. While it closed admission in most other courses, Hindu College asked for 96.75 and 97.50% for English and Economics.
The university has, for now, announced a total of three cut-off lists. The first cut-off list was announced on 19 June.
The varsity threw open its admission portal for aspirants of various undergraduate courses on 15 May. The registration for these courses ended on 7 June. Registrations were made for the merit-based course and rest for the entrance-based ones.
The total number of male applicants are 1,44,248, women 1,34,297 and other applicants 29. According to an official from the university, 2,78,544 aspirants have made payments. Last year, around 2.20 lakh candidates had made payments.
