Principals of colleges here have kept the cut-offs at 100 per cent on Friday said the perfect score was a precautionary measure to avoid over-admissions.

Delhi University on Friday announced its first cut-off list for undergraduate admissions with prominent colleges pegging the cut-offs at 100 per cent for various courses.

Apart from Shri Ram College for Commerce, which had pegged the cut-off for BCom (Hons) at 100 per cent in 2011, probably no college had ever kept a perfect score for admissions.

Ramjas College principal Manoj Khanna said one had to take precautions to avoid over-admissions. “There are 10,000 applicants who have 100 per cent scores. Assuming that 2,000 of them apply to our college, we have sought 100 per cent for admission to political science (Hons),” he said.
