of admissions after the Second Cut-Off List was announced here on

Against 1000 seats in the college; 955 seats have already been filled. Around 70 students from the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) have been admitted to the college till now.

The scenario was not different at Hans Raj College where 100 students were admitted in Science and Humanity courses each, out of which 80 students withdrew admissions.
"We already have got 1,200 students admitted against the 1,000 seats available but we are concerned over the poor admissions of OBC students as only 25 students have got admitted against the 200 seats reserved for them in all the courses," said S.R. Arora, Principal, Hans Raj College.
