Congratulations, the world is your oyster. Pick your course, pick your college and run with it. Some institutions demanding over 99% for Economics (Hons) or BCom (Hons) may prove a dampener for some of you, but waiting for the second cut-off may get you there.

The plan should be to take admission in a college that offers your choice of course in your cut-off bracket. You can then wait for the second, third and fourth cut-off list in your college of choice. Cut-offs for sought-after courses like B.Com (Hons) and Economics (Hons) don’t drop much, so opt for BA Programme and BCom (Pass) instead.Career Options After Scoring Low Percentage65-80%

The brand value of the college should not be a consideration at this point.
