Even a candidate having 90 percent marks in board exams is not eligible for admission to Delhi University’s prestigious colleges. The cut-offs have become very high – 95 to 100 percent. How do students end up scoring such high marks especially in theoretical subjects? Is the board’s marking system faulty? A committee of learned persons must examine and review the marking and checking of board exam papers. Because of such cut-offs, many bright students are unable to secure admission to decent colleges and are compelled to opt for correspondence courses. Therefore, there should be enough number of regular day colleges to accommodate all students. It seems that the present educational policy itself needs educational reforms.
