“We are happy with the admissions that have taken place, especially for the Economics (Honours) course. The cutoffs were decided after lots of analysis. We kept the cutoff at 99 per cent for Economics (Honours) rather than keeping it higher and it was done after lots of discussion,” she said.

Suman Sharma, principal of Lady Shri Ram College of Women, said the data of admissions would be available only on Thursday.

“There have been quite a few number of applications and we are in the process of approving them. We have to be very careful in analysing documents.

“In one of the subjects we might have exceeded the number of seats while in another course, we have admitted optimum number of students. The cutoffs for the second list will see a marginal decline and that marginal decline has to be decided,” Sharma said.
