Sibal reaches out to students on 100% cut off

June 15, 2011 15:42

All that you wanted to know on Delhi university's cut off of 100 per cent.

Sri Ram College of Commerce, Delhi, has fixed 100 per cent cut-off marks for admission to the undergraduate commerce course. Justifying it, the college said it has been a practice for the last 20 years and there was nothing wrong with it.

Reacting to it, HRD minister Kapil Sibal said, "I was sad to hear it. I want to reach out to parents and students and tell them don't worry...We will take care of this irrationality. We are on your side."

Sibal added, "I am informed by the (Delhi University) Vice Chancellor that there is only one student in the entire list who has scored 100 per cent in science. He may never go to commerce. The idea is to exclude everybody in the science stream and not to allow them an opportunity. This is completely irrational," he said.
