With over 220,000 students scoring 90% or more marks and over 70,000 of them securing 95% or more in the Central Board of Secondary Education Class 12 results announced on Friday, securing a seat in Delhi University (DU) this year will become all the more difficult as DU officials anticipate a steep rise in the cutoff marks for most undergraduate courses.
Every year, over 70% of students who take admissions to the DU are from the CBSE board. A total of 220,156 students scored 90% or more this year, as compared to 196,620 in 2020 a jump of nearly 12%. The number of students scoring 95% or more has almost doubled to 70,004 from last year’s 38,686. However, those scoring in the 90-95% range decreased by about 5% from 157,934 last year to 150,152 this year.
