Following an almost 50% dip in the number of state board
students who scored more than 90% in SSC this year, cut-offs for minority quota
at junior colleges, too, are lower than in 2011.In other words, getting
admission to a college of choice would be easier this year.
At Jai Hind College, Churchgate, cut-off for Arts under the Sindhi minority quota fell from 64.8% to 60% and the Commerce cut-off from 75% to 70% in their first, offline merit list. The Science cut-off stood at 75%.At St Xaviers College, the cut-off for minority quota applicants in the Arts stream fell from 79.6% last year to 77.4% whereas the Science cut-off fell from 86.6% last year to 84.2% this year.
However, cut-offs at a few other minority institutes remained at last years levels. The rest of the minority institutes will announce their first offline merit list on Tuesday. Marie Fernandes, principal of St Andrews College, Bandra, was unable to divulge the actual cut-offs for FYJC as their first list will be announced on Tuesday.
First list cut-offs are always high since students apply to various colleges but end up confirming admissions at only one college. Cutoffs will surely dip by the second list, she said and added that online admissions and merit lists might follow a similar trend.
At H R College, students under the minority quota who had scored above 80% were given walk-in admissions and the first merit list was announced on Monday.
Our cut-off this year is 78%,which is almost the same as in 2011.Since we had walk-in admissions till Saturday, most of the 85% and above scorers have already confirmed their seats with us, said Indu Shahani, principal of the college.
Shahani added that almost a fourth of the candidates who confirmed their seats with the college have scored more than 90 %
