"The trend has changed from previous years as students are going for B.Com Pass Course than BA honours. Because of lack of understanding among students, they are simply going for pass course. The percentage of B.Com Pass Courses has been higher than the honours," said Rashmi Jain, vice principal, Maharani's College. In Maharani's College, there is a marginal difference in number of applicants than the previous years. The college authorities had assumed that the introduction of online admission would result in increased number of applications.
