Delhi University's unrealistic cut-offs give nightmares to students, parents firstpost.com

India's nightmarish college admission process started on Monday, 29 May, 2017, reminding everyone there's little life in this round-the-clock stress if your marks are below 95 percent.

In New Delhi — India's National Capital, home to the prestigious Delhi University and its clutch of top-notch colleges, pandemonium prevailed as authorities asked those above 95 percent to wait for special orientation classes. They were the have-beens.

The rest of have-nots were herded into a cacophonous auditorium where lecturers and counsellors kept reiterating something the students weren't ready to hear: Why it is important to look elsewhere if marks are below 95 percent.
