Hello. The cut off is based in the number of students that apply and the aggregate of students. Cut off for B.A. (hon) English is considered relatively high every year. Now, coming to your question, by sixth cutoff last year, colleges like Deshbandhu and Motilal Nehru dropped their cutoff for English hons to 79 and 77.5 respectively for OBC category. Satyawati (evening) had its cut off at 76 for English Hons. By eighth cutoff, in Deshbandhu College it was 75% and CVS also opened its cutoff again at somewhere near to 78%. But it totally depends on the University if they want to release cut off beyond sixth list as last year seats were not filled in colleges and in total 11 lists were released. So, with the first cut off list you would be able to know the trend and plan accordingly. All the best!
