Defeat Endless Ploys Of JNU Administration To Scuttle OBC And PH Reservations and Fulfilment of Intake! Rally With JNUSU For Social Justice Against The Elitist Administration! .
JNU admissions 2008 are at a critical stage. This year, when the OBC reservations and the concomitant seat increase is being implemented for the first time in JNU, extra sensitivity and caution was required on part of the administration to implement the mandate. However, the JNU administration, reflecting its typical elitist bias and laxity in attitude, has shown utter irresponsibility time and again to live up to the task. JNUSU had to intervene at several stages to confront the administrations wrongdoings and ensure correct admission procedures. .
Visible Reluctance to implement OBC reservation rules properly .
To begin with, the cut off marks for OBC and General students was kept as the same in clear violation of the rules. JNUSU confronted the administration on this blatant violation and it was only after this, that the viva cut-off for the OBC students was relaxed and a second list was brought out. .
But once again, when the final list was released, in many centres not a single OBC student had been admitted. Clearly, the elitist administration used spurious criterion to deny students admission. JNUSU has stated time and again that legally mandated relaxation has to be provided in eligibility to OBC students and spurious arguments about merit cannot be used to deny them admission. .
Fulfilling the mandatory Quota for PH students .
In the case of reservation for PH students too, the administration has been using all manner of legal and mathematical subterfuges that do not stand the scrutiny of either law or logic. However, JNUSU confronted the administration at every stage, and demolished erroneous logic. The JNU Administration was forced to accept its error with regard to PH reservation and a new list for 31 PH students was brought out. As a result, the total number of PH students went up to 46. But shockingly, the 3% quota of 56 seats is yet to be fulfilled. .
Release of Additional Lists to Fulfil the Capacity in M.A. Urdu and B.A. .
Although admissions in the B.A. were on the basis of a one-shot offer list, the intake has not been fulfilled and there is a deficit of 28 students. When the capacity exists, it will be incorrect to keep it unfilled and prevent eligible students from availing the academic opportunities of JNU. JNUSU demands that the university immediately announce additional lists so that the intake in BA programmes in each centre is duly filled. .
It is most unfortunate that no waiting list has been brought out for the Urdu MA admissions in 2008. As a consequence of what appears to be a premeditated and extremely calculated evaluation, presently the given intake stands unfulfilled. JNUSU demands that the centre take a re-look at its evaluation norms and adopt an appropriate procedure to bring out fresh lists. The JNU Administration will have to ensure additional lists and evolve suitable norms so that the undue problem is solved and CIL Urdu M.A. seats are duly filled. .
The JNU administration has to be taken to task for all these discrepancies that are persisting even now. It is most unfortunate that when the JNUSU is engaged in an uphill battle with the administration towards the correct implementation of reservation and concomitant seat increase towards a correct implementation of the 2006 OBC Reservation Act, and other persistent anomalies mentioned above, a particular organisation with its councillors is trying to vilify JNUSU by peddling spurious logic and a false bogey of an imagined seat-cut. During the two Council meetings, as well as in open debate through pamphlets, they could not stand their ground either in terms of logic or numbers to prove their spurious claims on "seat-cut." Subsequently, they have been indulging in continuous change of positions (at times stating offer, and later stating joined as the base for seat increase and reservation), thereby displaying total lack of seriousness and caution towards this crucial Act on social justice. Such politically motivated moves, in total unconcern for the legal requirements of the Act, can put an important issue like OBC reservations in jeopardy on the very first occasion of its implementation. It is therefore urgent that both in the interest of the collective strength of JNUSU, and the correct implementation of OBC reservations, that these motivated moves and spurious campaigns be squarely resisted. JNUSU had repeatedly intervened in the admissions process, held protest demonstrations and corrected several wrongdoings. But since some of the glaring anomalies regarding correct fulfilment of .
