This year, we’ve noticed a significant drop in cut-off scores across many courses, particularly in the traditional degree programs like BA, BCom, and BSc. City colleges are experiencing a surge of interest in new-age professional courses that have recently been rolled out.
On Tuesday, the first merit list for undergraduate (UG) degree courses was released by colleges affiliated with Mumbai University.
St. Xavier’s College, renowned for its Arts programs, has set the first merit list cut-off at 90 percent this year, which is quite a drop from the 92.33 percent cut-off of the previous year. Similarly, Ramnarain Ruia College also saw a decrease in the cut-off score for its first merit list of Arts, which went down from 92 percent to 90 percent. Notably, Ruia College also experienced a decline in cut-off scores for B.Sc and Biochemistry courses, while the cut-off for Biotechnology rose from 92.2 percent to 94.6 percent.
Cut-off trends in top colleges
Several sought-after colleges in Mumbai are reporting high cut-offs in different streams, especially for self-financed and professional courses. St. Xavier’s College, which operates as an autonomous institution, announced remarkably high cut-offs for its popular arts and commerce programs.
For the aided F.Y.B.A. course, the highest cut-off for the general category (Others) reached 97.40%, whereas Christian candidates had a minimum requirement of 90%. Students from special categories (SWD) faced a cut-off of 95.20%. Self-financed courses had even more demanding thresholds.
The F.Y.B.A. Economics Major & Statistics Minor required a cut-off of 97.80% for general applicants and 91.00% for Christians.
In a similar vein, the F.Y.B.A. Psychology & English combination hit a top cut-off of 98.00% for general candidates, while Christian applicants needed at least 93.33%. The Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting & Finance (BAF) program reached a cut-off of 97.20% for the general category.
Ramnarain Ruia College has also published its first merit list, showcasing competitive scores across both its arts and sciences programs.
