‘Even those who scored 100% marks in Class XII may find it difficult to get courses of their choice’
Colleges affiliated to the University of Calicut are witnessing a heavy rush of students for admissions to undergraduate courses this year. Teachers say even those who scored cent per cent marks in Class XII may find it difficult to get courses of their choice. The pass percentage for Plus Two was 87.94% this time and 48,383 students scored A+ grade in all subjects. There are many who scored 100% marks as well. According to sources, though there are around 90,000 seats available in arts and science colleges in the government, aided and self-financing sectors, the number of applicants could be around 2.5 lakh. August 24 was the last for submitting applications for admissions. Right now, the merit percentage will exceed 100 if grace marks and others are added to those who have scored above 90% marks. Among science subjects, undergraduate courses in Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science are some of the most sought after ones. B.Sc. Psychology is in high demand among humanities courses.
