Jamshedpur, June 26: It?s curtains down on the nerve-wracking suspense.

Delhi University has finally declared the cut-off for the first admission list this morning, and 90 per cent marks seem to be a common feature there.

The results have been quite disheartening for some students of the steel city as the cut-offs have gone through the roof for even students of Delhi but there are also many who are painting the town red after having made it to some of the top-notch institutions.

For Aditi Trehan and her group of friends, for instance, the flowers are indeed smelling sweet. The gang has made it to the hallowed portals of their cherished institutions.

?I had really pinned my hopes on Lady Shri Ram College and now that I have got through psychology, the subject of my choice, I am quite excited. It certainly makes a difference to be in the best institutions and it feels really nice to have achieved my goal,? an elated Aditi, a former student of Sacred Heart Convent School, told The Telegraph from Delhi.

?The day is chock-a-block with excitement. But the cut-offs have been increased this year and some students are waiting for the second list,? she added.

Aditi will have classmates Shipra Singh and Saiba Singh for company, who too have made it to LSR in psychology and mathematics honours, respectively.

Kanchan J. Toppo, a national-level basketball player, has also cleared the sports trials at St Stephen?s College and lapped up a seat in English, while Devika Singh, another city student, has cleared the entrance test for English at Miranda House.

For those who failed to make it to the courses of their choice, the university provided options galore to redeem their disappointment. Rijuta Dey, who couldn?t clear the journalism test in LSR, has settled for English in the same college, informed her mother.

?She has been selected for English and will go for counselling tomorrow. She is a bit upset for not being able to get into the course of her choice, nevertheless she is glad to have made it to her dream college,? her mother said.

The wait for the right college being finally over for most, the hunt for hostels or accommodations is now the next thing to worry.

?I have been selected for English in both Kirori Mal and Sri Venkateswara but I plan to settle for the former since there is a dearth of good hostel for boys in the South campus,? said Aritro Hore, a student of Loyola School, who has been beating the Delhi heat to hunt for a suitable accommodation.

The girls, on the other hand, are on a safer boat with more options on their platter.

?It?s a favourable situation for girls wishing to study in Delhi as they have good accommodation facilities to choose from,? said Swati Mitra, who has been selected for philosophy honours in LSR.

The fate of students applying for the SC/ST quota will, however, be in limbo for another couple of days.

?The results for the SC/ST quota will be declared on June 29 and thus they have to wait for a few more days to know what is in store for them,? said Manju Topno, mother of Natasha Topno, a student who applied under the quota. The second list of cut-offs will also be declared the same day.
