Sriram college has placed its cut off at 100% .
If they can fill up their seats why not, we need to look into how is a 100% possible.
Apart from that if the cut off is over people for people crossing over then I think they are perfectly justified.
Will a science college entertain a commerce or arts student ?
During the days of non-competitive education my father was BSc. In Math, he had to do a six month crash course in biology before he took up medicine.
Maybe for students crossing streams an aptitude test or a bridge course should be made mandatory.
Our entire system ends rehashing and we need to become vocation and knowledge oriented. This would mean re-inventing our entire education system.
By doing this we may succeed in finding people to do jobs that need to be done, and reduce the number of unemployed who are people learnt skills that are not required.
Of course our staple export of engineers will drop.

100% has been made a deamon. Nobody wants to acknowledge the real reason behind it which is ‘not enough seats are available’. Regardless of the cutoff, no. of students inducted will be equal to last year.
Bringing in new exams (aptitude, SAT etc etc), will just help taking the pie out of mouth of one hungry person, and putting it into another hungry person.
The solution is increasing number of seats and induction of more students. Cutoff will go down by themselves.
The thing is the alumni of the elite colleges want to maintain their so called elite-ship and dont want to increase seats, which is the real cause for 100% cutoff and not our education system.
Why do we hate a student getting 100% and getting admission? “Oh, he/she should not get it. Lets have an aptitude test and give this seat to someone else.” Do we say a person 100% does not deserve the admission.
Once seats will be increased all problems will be solved. IIT’s IIM’s have done it. Time for DU’s/SRCC’s to follow suit.
