NEW DELHI: With tremendous increase in the number of pre-admission registrations this year, the number of applications for admissions through extra-curricular activities quota has also risen significantly. Delhi University colleges handling the ECA admission process directly report that even candidates with good scores are applying for ECA quota.
Hindu College has received over 1,500 forms this year. "We have not received more than 1,000 applications in many years. This year is a record," says principal Pradyumn Kumar. Hindu will be holding the preliminary trials from 9am to 6pm for four days starting July 1. There will be two rounds.
"Even those with 95% marks are applying for ECA quota because they are worried about the cutoffs," says Shashi Tyagi, principal, Gargi College. This year, DU received over one lakh registrations more than last year. Over 44,000 candidates who wrote the Class XII CBSE exam have their aggregate in five subjects in the 90s. The number of students with more than 90% in their best-of-fours is even higher. "The 92-93 percenters are a worried lot," observes Kanika Khandelwal, spokesperson, Lady Shri Ram College, "We have received a large number of forms from high scorers."
