Senior professors in the faculty also said, ``We can grant admissions to students who have acquired even 40 per cent.'' He claimed that it was not necessary that all the students who had applied would be taking admissions in the faculty itself, they could have applied at other places and kept this as an option.

He added that the cut-off per cent this year was however expected to be high as the results this year were better than last year. Meanwhile spot admissions at the faculty of Science also began on Monday.
