Commerce and Economics
There is good news for candidates who want admission in Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC). The colleges has released its second cut-off list in B Com (Honours). They have lowered their cut-off from between 99.50% and 97.50% in the first list to between 97.25% and 99% in the second list.
Most other colleges, too, are open to applicants in the second list, including Lady Shri Ram College, Hindu College and Kamla Nehru College.
"The cut-offs were very high in the first list and that is the biggest reason why the seats are still vacant. Once the cut-offs come down, the seats will get filled quickly," said a teacher who did not want to be named.

Humanities
The most popular courses this year are humanities courses, leaving behind the traditional favourites such as Commerce and Economics.
This despite the cut-offs going up by a large margin since 2012, the year when the three year programme was last offered in the university.
At Lady Shri Ram College for Women, seats are already filled in Humanities courses like psychology, philosophy, Hindi and BA Programme. At Hindu College, admissions for both political science and history are closed. In fact, they have admitted more applicants than the sanctioned seats.
"The response in humanities has been phenomenal. Despite having a large number of seats, history has filled up very quickly. It is unlikely that there will be second lists for psychology, history and political science in most campus colleges," said a history professor at Ramjas College.
Science
Science courses in most colleges are still open. There are reductions in the range of 0.33% to 1% in some colleges. Most popular colleges, however, are still open in the second list, including Hindu College, Hans Raj College and Miranda House. Kirori Mal College, however, has closed admission in almost all courses.
"Science courses have not seen a very good response so far but that was mainly because the colleges had very prohibitive cut-offs to avoid over admissions. Many colleges have seen over admissions in science in the last two years," said a teacher who teaches Physics at Hindu College.
