The exemption can be up to one percent. Till four years ago, the relaxation used to range from one to five percent. The relaxation in cut-offs can be understood as:
If the college has declared a cutoff for a particular course as 96%, the students will be admitted at 96% merit but due to one percent relaxation for the girl students, the cutoff will be considered 95% for them. With this priviledge, the girl students might get benefits in admission. The complete procedure will be only revealed after the varsity and its college release the cut-offs and its guidelines.
