This Tamil Nadu school is sending 50 students to one of Delhi’s prestigious colleges

Getting admission into Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), which is regarded as one of the best colleges of the Delhi University, is a matter of pride and prestige.

And strikingly, 110 students from Tamil Nadu have made it the BCom (H) course of the college, which has total 160 seats for the same course.

Well, it gets more interesting here as 50 of these students belong from one school-Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in Erode.

R P Rastogi, principal, SRCC, told TOI, “All admissions have been done on merit."

However, teachers say these students appeared to be quite average.

But, there are no such doubts in the minds of the teachers at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan as last year, 36 of its students made it to SRCC and in 2014, 28 students took admission in SRCC.

"Of late Shri Ram College in Delhi and Christ College in Bangalore have been big attractions for our students. SRCC is known for admissions based purely on merit and this is an advantage for us as we produce many centum scorers," N S Karthikeyani,Principal, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, told TOI.

"Maybe the questions at SRCC were presented in a way our students are not used to,” said PC Jain, who had conducted nine admission sessions as former principal of the college, adding “with Delhi University becoming an attractive proposition, education boards of other states went into competitive mode to assure admissions for their students by giving them high marks.”
