In 2011, when the Delhi University admission cut-off percentage for under graduate courses reached 100%, the then worried Jammu & Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah tweeted that he is worried over the high marks required for admissions to colleges in the national capital. "Worry? I'm terrified for my sons because in five years, when Zamir (Omar's son) moves to college, the cut-offs will be even more insane," he tweeted.
He also said that he was happy that he finished college 20 years ago as the present cut-offs were "scary". "With these kinds of cut-off marks, I'd have been doing a correspondence course because I wouldn't have even gotten a 'pass course' admission," he said. Omar Abdullah is no longer the chief minister of Jammu & Kashmir and his son will be going to a college next year. He would still be worried because the DU cut-off is going up every year.
