It's that disappointing time of year again, when students from around the country flock to Delhi University to realise that even Srinivasa Ramanujan would struggle to beat its cut-offs.

Of course, no one is surprised by these supremely unrealistic numbers, because that's just how things have been the past few years.
When your dream was Delhi University but you only scored 99%
And Twitter, of course, came out in full force today to mock this sad state of affairs.

One college principal had some reassuring words to offer, saying that the cut-offs would drop to at least 98.25% when the second list comes out.

Because that number is totally achievable, right?
But in case you're an aspiring D.U. student and don't make it to the college of your choice, just remember:
