Mumbai College Admission for BMM,BMS,BAF and BFM 2012 & Cut off

Cut-offs in city grad colleges see 6% rise

The announcement of the first merit list for various degree college courses brought little cheer to aspirants on Friday. Even as the cut-off in some colleges dropped by one per cent, in top colleges it continued to remain high this year too. Principals told TOI that they were surprised to see a rise of almost 4-6 % in the cutoff for self-financed courses.

At H R College, Churchgate, the cut-off for the Bachelor in Mass Media (BMM) course rose to 92.7% this year from last year’s 86.2%.The cut-off is much higher, especially for self-financed courses. The increase varies from 1% to 6% in our college, said Rekha Bahadur, vice-principal at H R College. The cut-off for Bachelor in Financial Management (BFM) course at this college rose 3% and Bachelor in Management Studies (BMS) 2%.

This is not surprising as students have been scoring better in their board exams every year. We were surprised at the 10% hike in some sections, but overall, the average hike is 4-5 %, said Sunil Mantri, principal at N M College.

ADMISSION ANXIETY

Some top city colleges have seen a 4-6 % rise in cut-off for self-financed courses from last year In some sections, its a massive 10% This year too, courses such as BMM,BMS,BAF and BFM are in demand; at HR College, cut-off for BMM is 92.7%,up from 86.2% last year B.Com,BA and BSc seats in most top colleges taken by in-house students, so very few seats left for outside students Popular science colleges are worried their admission process will take longer as students may withdraw admissions based on CET results

Cut-offs sure to drop, assure college heads

Mumbai : The cut-off for commerce students vying for BMS seats ended at 93.4% this year at N M College2 % more than last year. At R A Podar College in Matunga, the merit list was higher this year in some courses but, surprisingly, lower in some others.

There is a definite increase in the percentage cutoff for BCom,which has risen by 2%,but the BMS cut-off for Science and Arts streams has fallen by 1%.Students have lined up for our BCom seats but we had very few seats left since most of our in-house students continue with us, said Shobhana Vasudevan,principal at the college.

Vasudevan added that only 28 % of the remaining seats were available for students in the open category while the rest were divided amongst various quotas.
While students are happy with the early announcement of MH-CET results this time, principals of colleges are worried that more and more students will start withdrawing their names before confirming admissions with them.

Our cut-off for BS c (IT) has increased by 2% but most of these students must have got their CET results, so they will surely not take our seats. This creates a lot of problem for us as we end up wasting a lot of our time, said Tushar Desai,principal at D G Ruparel College, Matunga.
He further said that in some cases, students don’t even bother to inform the college about withdrawing their admission and confirm seats with other engineering or medical colleges.
Most college heads were sure that the cut-off will come down by the third list.Students apply to more than five colleges at a time but choose only one seat in the end.Seats will be available for the remaining students in all colleges so they shouldn’t be disheartened, said the principal of a suburban college.
