MINISTER OF THE STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (Dr. D. PURANDESWARI)
(a) According to the information furnished by the University of Delhi, the details of the
percentage cut-off marks for admission in Colleges of the University for the year 2011-12,
subject-wise and college-wise are available at the website of the University, viz. www.du.ac.in .
(b) & (c) The University of Delhi lays down general principles and minimum eligibility criteria
for admission to various courses for each academic session and the same are notified to the
colleges. Additional eligibility criteria for various courses are prescribed by the colleges
themselves. Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) prescribed 100 per cent cut-off for admission
to B.Com (Hons.) for students who had not studied any of the four subjects, viz. Accountancy,
Business Studies, Economics and Mathematics.
(d) Yes, Sir.
(e) & (f) As a large number of students from all over the country seek admission to the colleges of University
of Delhi and there are limited number of seats available, it is not possible to give admission to everyone,
particularly, in the courses of his choice. The number of seats for each course is determined, keeping in
view the availability of physical infrastructure, faculty position, financial resources etc. in a college.
Recently in the wake of implementation of CEI Act, there has been substantial increase in the intake of
total number of students in the University and its colleges. However, the existing capacity in University
of Delhi still falls short of the growing demand for quality educational institution in the Country.
The Central Government, during the XIth Plan period, has taken up a number of initiatives, such as
opening of 15 new Central Universities, besides a scheme for setting up of 374 degree colleges in
such districts of the Country, which has gross enrolment ratio less than the national average.
There is also a scheme to incentivize state Universities for quality education.
