“High cut-offs for BCom has generally been the case since the past few years and has not dropped below 90 at our college,” said principal Parag Thakkar. “The dip in second merit list is by 1-2 per cent as expected. This is because for placements, companies consider BCom at par with other commerce courses. The specialisation is not given as much importance as skills developed by the student.”

“BMS has seen stable this year. For Commerce, we have about 150 seats for outsiders, while the rest are filled with in-house students,” said RA Poddar College principal Shobhana Vasudevan.
About the trend in the second merit list, Jai Hind College Principal Ashok Wadia said, “As students are cautious about securing seats, they apply for all possible options… Our number of applications for BMS and BMM is humongous. Whereas our seats for BA are almost full. This year, the number of outstation students are almost one fourth of all students.”
