Private varsities plan expansion, new courses to address high UG cut-off

Due to Covid-19, the CBSE and several state committees did not conduct committee examinations this year, resulting in the announcement of results based on special assessments. As a result, this year’s grade 12 score exceeded many records, and the number of students who scored more than 95% in grade 12 was the largest.

Because of the inflated scores, government universities have witnessed a surge in the number of applicants. This year, the University of Delhi received 1,70,186 applications out of 70,000 seats in the undergraduate program.

Therefore, at least 6 Delhi University Colleges, including SRCC and Hindu College, have an acceptance rate of 100% for certain undergraduate courses. Even after the publication of five deadlines and two special driving deadlines, the percentage of requirements for popular courses has not fallen below 95%, and some universities have closed enrollment. Similarly, many universities at the University of Bombay have also witnessed a 10-13 percentage point increase in breakpoints. College officials informed that at Jai Hind College, a total of 5,513 applications were awarded 60 seats to enter the popular Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS) program.

Rajasthan University also admitted these students with an acceptance rate of 100% this year. For BCom (pass), the first transcript admits students with grade 12 scores between 100% and 95%. The fifth transcript released for the course has not changed much, because only two students were admitted to the BCom (pass) course with 96% and 93.80% grades.

Because government universities have such high admission scores and limited places, students are now seeking admission to private universities. Noida resident Aashna Mendiratta scored 95.5% in the CBSE Level 12 exam. Mendiratta planned to study BA Economics (H) from any DU college, but failed to enter any of the top universities on the five deadlines.

“I hope to enter any well-known off-campus university, because campus colleges usually have higher deadlines for this course. But this year, even off-campus universities have sky-high deadlines.

The books, designed for parents of students in public schools, are tailored to the different educational stages of Pre-Primary, Lower Primary, Upper Primary, and High School-Higher Secondary levels, the release said.

They provide detailed guidance to parents on how to approach their children’s growth, development, and learning needs, it said.

“These books are not just reading materials but form the foundation for a scientific, structured parent education programme to be conducted by the Department of Education. Under the guidance of trained teachers, the content of these books will be shared with parents across the state,” it further said.

Sivankutty, according to the release, emphasised that Kerala was the only state in India to establish a special focus group on parenting education as part of curriculum reform.
