Unlike last year, when a major chunk of seats in a few colleges were filled on the very first day, there was still a lot of breathing space left after day one.
At Sri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), 223 students took admissions on B Com (hons) course against 501 seats, while 55 students reported for the 123 seats in the Economics course.
SRCC Principal termed the response as 'wonderful' and said he expected more activity in the upcoming two days.
Hans Raj college saw a little over 150 admissions, most of them in B Com (hons). While 50 of the 200 seats were taken in the Commerce course, only 17 of the 100 seats were filled on the first day in Economics.
"Most of the admissions took place in Commerce and Economics today. Subjects in the Arts and Science streams saw up to 90 and 50 registrations respectively," said Hans Raj Principal V K Kawatra.
Numbers were the same in other colleges, with Hindu college that set this time's highest cut-off percentage of 99.25 per cent taking up to 152 admissions on the first day.

Officials pointed out that last year's admissions took place in the absence of pre-admission forms and the first day rush of 2011 can be attributed to this fact.
The colleges will continue taking admissions for two more days before declaring their second cut off lists on June 29. (MORE)
