Kamla Nehru college closed admission for unreserved category for Honours courses in Political Science, Geography, History and Sociology while it kept the same cut-off for Psychology.

Speaking about admissions based on the first cut-off list, an admission official said:

“Last year, there were only 6,000 admissions to 56,000 seats after the first cut-off list but this year the number is quite high. There are many colleges where admissions are much more than the number of seats allocated for the particular courses.”

Principals had also said there would be a marginal decline in the second cut-offs for courses since they do not want to over-admit students.

The third, fourth and fifth cut-off lists will be released on 9 July, 15 July and 20 July respectively.
