Mumbai :  The UG (undergraduate) cut offs in popular colleges for prominent streams has gone through the roof, veering between 96 and 97 per cent.

As against last year, the cutoff percentage has witnessed an increase of three to four per cent in 2015. However, in some of the top colleges, the spurt has been to the extent of five per cent.

The merit list for various UG courses was released in local colleges on Tuesday evening. A cursory glance at the list showed that several students, who had scored more than 90 per cent marks in HSC, would not get admission in their desired courses in popular colleges.

Sathaye College Principal Kavita Rege said, “We are not surprised with the cut-off this year. The merit list has closed between 93 and 97 per cent in various colleges, as scores of students have got plus 90 per cent marks in the HSC examination.” She added, “Now, the second merit list will also be higher, as against that last year.”

Hundreds of students had converged at the colleges after braving heavy rain to check their names in the merit list. Even students who had scored 90 to 93 per cent marks in HSC were fidgety.

The ct off of at St Xavier’s, KC, Ruparel, RA Podar and VG Vaze has increased on an average by 3 to 5 per cent.

It was observed that more students are inclined towards courses like BMM, BMS, BSc IT, BSc computer science and BMS Accounting & Finance.

The Jai Hind Head of Department (Computer Science) Wilson Rao said, “Computer Science, Biotechnology and Bio-chemistry courses are also popular among the students this year.”

Considering the high cut offs, students who got 70 to 75 per cent are afraid that they may not figure in the second merit list either.

Online admissions for undergrads too: Higher and Technical Education Minister Ravindra Waikar said on Tuesday, “At present, a student has to go to every college, buy the prospectus, fill applications and then trudge to the college to see the merit list. We want to change all this from the next academic year. Undergraduate admission in all colleges will be centralized on the lines of the FYJC. It will really facilitate students and parents. Besides, the online system is more transparent.”

Cong targets Modi sarkar’s three bigwigs

documents to Lalit Modi. ‘‘The moot question is why did the government not file an appeal when a two judge bench of the Delhi High Court decided that Lalit Modi’s passport should be restored? Who in the government took that decision? This cannot be a decision of one person. All the three — the prime minister, the finance minister and the home minister — have to be involved in this process,” charged Sharma.

Questioning the propriety of the defence offered by union ministers that Swaraj had done nothing wrong, Sharma said: ”Then Rajnath (home minister) must explain as to how he proposes to bring back a man wanted by the law?”

Observing that the government works as a collective and no single minister can be blamed for the conduct of the country, Sharma said that this case had brought the entire functioning of the Modi sarkar under a cloud.

“This party came to power with the promise of getting back the black money stashed abroad. Lalit Modi is precisely the kind of person who is involved in such deals. He has been facing charges of money laundering, betting match fixing and violations of the provisions regarding foreign exchange, and here we find that the entire government is helping him get his passport back. This is no humanitarian gesture,” he added.

Sharma also debunked Swaraj’s claim that Lalit Modi’s consent was needed for his wife Minal’s cancer surgery. “It was a non invasive procedure, and three days after it, the couple was holidaying in an international resort,” he charged.

“Lalit Modi has declared himself bankrupt in London, and still he flies in private jets to exotic destinations. The government needs to check on such facts in this case,” he said.
