Delhi University is one of the most renowned universities in South Asia. Students from all over India compete for admission in DU. This week DU shocked everyone by announcing the interview cut off for PhD in Mathematics. For general category students, the cut off was 94 percent, while for SC/ST students, the cut off was zero marks – yes, you read that right! The interviews started on 31st July 2017 and will go on until 4th August 2017. The university has released the names of 223 candidates who have been shortlisted for the interview. Out of 223, 32 belong to the SC/ST.

Students were visibly shocked at this and took to twitter to express their outrage over this absurd technicality that allows those who haven’t earned even 40% marks to secure admission in a doctorate program.
