The fifth and final list of admission for under graduate course at Delhi University (DU) is out and most of the seats for general and OBC students in life sciences courses have been occupied.

Dyal Singh College filled all its seats in all the science courses offered for OBC students. I  S Bakshi, principal, said, “We have exercised upto 10 percent relaxation for OBC students. The aim is to help students benefit. What are we going to get by keeping seats vacant in OBC? We are happy that students have turned to Dyal Singh.”

Anju Shrivastava, media coordinator at the Hindu College said, “We have filled almost all seats for our science courses in OBC. This has been possible by just giving upto six percent relaxation than general.”

The same does not seem to hold true for the most sought after Bcom (Hons) and Economics (Hons) with only three colleges still open for general category. Seats are vacant in almost all colleges for OBC students in commerce and arts courses.

The fifth list opened admissions to Shri Ram college of commerce (SRCC) for OBC in Economics (Hons) allowing 0.5 percent more relaxation from the fourth list.

Hansraj college on the other hand relaxed about one percent more to open admissions for teh OBC students in all the arts and commerce courses. V K Kwatra, principal, Hans Raj College said, “We are open for OBC students even after the fifth list. There is a lot of inter-college shifting taking place this year. Our students are going from one college to another. With SRCC reducing their percentage, Hans Raj has further lowered it. So, SRCC students are coming to us and our srtudent are going to KMC (Kirori Mal College)."

Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma (ARSD) College have almost all its arts and commerce courses open for OBC despite allowing a 10 percent relaxation. The principal of ARSD said, “OBC candidates are not available. The problem is with commerce percentages soaring up. Even the maximum relaxation is not good enough for the students. We are hopeful to fill up the seats eventually.”
