The high cut off is said to be a factor which is keeping many aspirants away from the admissions and they might take enrollment after the other cut-off lists release. According to a DCAC official, the cut-off will decrease by 1 to 2 per cent in all these colleges in the second list.
The DU Admission 2019 has offered students to apply for multiple courses, which was not available until last year. There is a possibility that a large number of students who had applied for BA Journalism might have chosen the alternative courses.
