CATE result today Cutoffs may go up
New Delhi, June 21 Of the 12,178 candidates who appeared for the entrance test on June 9, nearly 1,230 belong to the OBC category. Of the rest 10,948 general category candidates, nearly 5,000 have already been rejected on the basis of their performance in the first part of the test. "With a new pattern in force this year, the examinees took the test in two parts. The first part had multiple choice questions while the second was a subjective one. The first part was given 60 per cent weight and the second 40 per cent. While preparing the merit list, 70 per cent weight was given to the score of the test and 30 per cent to the Class 12 marks. Every year, we set a cutoff mark for the first section of the test paper. This year, the cutoff was 32. The copies of only those candidates who had scored at least 32 out of 60 in the objective section were checked for the second part. Those who had scored less that 32 were rejected," said Tapan Basu, co-convener, CATE committee. "We wanted to declare the result today itself, but could not due to some technical glitch. It will most likely be uploaded on the website tomorrow morning," he added. A total of 46 DU colleges offer English (hons), out of which 21 colleges select candidates through CATE. This year, nearly 93 per cent of the applicants appeared for the test. Experts predict that colleges may raise the cutoffs this year as the number of students scoring above 80 is likely to increase. Last year, 98 students had scored above 80 while the topper had scored 90.63. A senior English teacher at the university added, "This time, the students with a score of above 80 should not have much trouble entering the college of their choice. However, the cutoffs are likely to increase this time. While colleges like Lady Shri Ram and Hindu are expected to keep their cutoffs in the range of 82-85, Kamla Nehru and IP may have a lesser cutoff nearing 80." |

Online RTI facility on MCD site shut
New Delhi, June 21 But with the closure of the online facility, the information seekers will now have to visit the offices of the respective corporations. While most of the online services, including the payment of property tax, are available on the website, the RTI section can no longer be accessed. "We have stopped accepting RTI pleas online as information officers have been recruited for the job," said a top official of the IT department. He said though the corporations had been divided physically, it was not easy to do it at the online level. "The deliberative wings of the new corporations are still not completely functional and till we get information like designations, room numbers, telephone numbers etc of the newly appointed officials, we cannot complete the websites of the three corporations," he said. "We will have to implement new software for each website and this will take time," he added. The IT department is already faced with the mammoth task of creating separate databases for the three agencies, which includes collecting information about the area and population of each corporation, creating thousands of new email address etc. Till separate websites are created for the three corporations, the department will run the erstwhile MCD website as the common site for the agencies to ensure uninterrupted online services. The undivided MCD started online services in May last year.

Falak’s father held
New Delhi, June 21 According to the police, Shah Hussain was quietly working at a tyre repair shop in Gurgaon. A police officer said that during his interrogation, he disclosed that he had fled Bihar as he was wanted in a gangrape case there. He was also declared a proclaimed offender. The Delhi police has informed its Bihar counterparts about Hussain's arrest. A police officer said that he has been charged under the Indian Penal Code section 376 (punishment for rape). The Child Welfare Committee in Delhi had asked the Delhi police a week ago to find Hussain. The committee reportedly said that it was necessary to locate the father to rehabilitate Falak's mother, Munni Khatoon, and her other two children whom she had with Hussain. Hussain allegedly abandoned her in Bihar and she later fell into a trap laid by one Shankar, who allegedly trafficked in women.
