Who will be benefited by Delhi University special cut-off list?
The consolidated special cut-off list, which will be released later in the day, is only for those candidates who could not apply from the three lists for various reasons. Students do not have the provision of cancelling their admission and taking admission to a course or college of their choice under this list, something that was available to them in the second and third lists. The special cut-off is the last declared cut-off for a programme.

Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College has pegged the cut-offs for BCom(Honours) at 98.25 per cent, BSc(Honours) Chemistry at 96.33 per cent, BSc(Honours) Computer Science, Mathematics (Honours) and Physics (Honours) at 97 per cent respectively and BSc Physical Science with Computer Science at 95 per cent.

According to an official of the university, colleges release special cut-offs on those courses where more than two seats are vacant since they don't want to risk excessive admissions.
In cases where only a couple of seats are left in a course, colleges prefer to release the cut-off for those seats on the fourth or fifth list. If there are excessive admissions in the unreserved category, then the seats in the reserved categories have to be increased in that proportion, the official said.
In a related development, the university has postponed the admission process forward quota. In an email sent last week, Delhi University had sought a list of students from colleges who had applied under the ward quota. Children of teaching and non-teaching staff working at the university can secure their admission to colleges affiliated with the university under the ward quota.
