Fewer 90% scores led to fall in cut-offs

Mumbai: Explaining the fall in cut-offs for junior college seats this year,Tushar Desai, principal of D G Ruparel College, said, Most who apply for junior college seats are from the state board. Since the 90 percenters had gone down, cut-offs had to go down. Most principals echoed Desai on low scores of SSC students being the reason for fall in cut-offs.

At many top city colleges, after minority and in-house admissions, very few seats are left for open category students.Principal of SIES College of Commerce Minu Thomas said,Our cut-off in commerce has dipped from 90.77% to 89.63%.There was a slight increase in seats,that is why more students were accommodated, bringing down the cut-off marginally. The college converted management quota seats to merit seats to take in more in the open category.Despite having 480 seats,135 were for online admissions.

At H R College in Churchgate, the cut-off was 91.27%,which is similar to last years,but the college was surprised by the high percentages of students who got seats under the sports and cultural quota.The highest percentage under the cultural and sports quota stood at 91%.Even under the physically challenged quota,the highest scorer was 89%, college principal Indu Shahani said.Shobhana Vasudevan,principal of R A Podar College, said,If results were bad and cut-offs higher,it would have led to frustration. 

Fr Frazer Mascarenhas,principal of St Xaviers College, said, With more high scorers aiming for bifocal seats, there will be many cancellations. We hope to finish the process soon.
Meanwhile, the high court on Wednesday dismissed a petition filed by a student to challenge the new changes effective this academic year in Mumbai colleges for the online admissions to the bifocal branch of science in junior colleges.
