--- Against Seat-Cuts and other serious malpractices in 2008 admissions!! Ad. Block-From Tonight Down with Seat-Cuts and other serious flaws In the ongoing admission process!! Unite against tampering of our socially-sensitive admission policy!! Join In large numbers!! Friends, 07/08/08 Braving the administrative authority and betrayal of the JNUSU leadership, the struggle against seat-cuts and other massive malpractices in this year's admission process in our university. We congratulate the student community for turning up in large numbers in the Protest Demonstration today afternoon at ad block. The councillors of the JNUSU .
today met the administration and raised serious questions on the entirely flawed admission process in our campus. .
However, the administration chose to maintain its insensitive approach on the genuine demands placed by the .
councillors. .
The councillors argued that the new system of admission policy is flawed because it is leading to a decline in seats .
.
instead of an 18% increase. The only forum where this issue can be addressed is the standing committee on admissions but unlike the old system where the standing committee used to be called after the first phase of admissions (generally held on the 6th August), under the new system, the standing committee would have been called after all the admissions were over. Any discrepancies in the fulfillment of seats, quota in that case would have become a fait accompli. Therefore, it is necessary to convene a standing committee meeting on admissions before the final date is over so that further lists can be brought out to address the discrepancies. After consistent pressure, the councillors forced the administration to advance the Standing Committee meeting on admissions to 11th August. This is very important in the context that there is complete opacity being maintained in the entire admission process. However, on the rest of the demands, the administration remained completely non-committal. .
On Seat-Cuts: While the JNUSU councillors argued that there have been drastic seat cuts in various centres, the administration did not budge from its position. The administration argued that the offer can not be the legal basis for increasing the seats. That is a very skewed logic because the admissions for the BA programme this year are being done on the basis of the old system of offers. So does the administration mean to say that the admissions this year to the BA programme are all illegal! This whole logic of legal tenability is nothing but a subterfuge that the administration is seeking to endorse the seat cuts. The JNUSU Councillors pointed out that despite the bogus claims of seat increase, there have been seat cuts in the university. This was illustrated from the fact that while 680 students had joined various M.Phii/Ph.D programmes in JNU in 2007, the maximum of those who can join this year has been reduced to 663, thus leading to a deficit of at least 17 students straight away. .
OBC Reservation: While the 27% OBC reservation has been bulldozed by the administration in our university with the full complicity of the JNUSU leadership, even the 12% reservation promised has not been fulfilled in true letter and spirit. In many centres like ZHCES and MA CHS, no OBC candidates have been admitted this year. The Councillors countered the administration with facts, after which they opined that consultations with legal experts would be undertaken and the conclusions reached would be brought to light. However, we believe that such actions of the administration are time-taking and keeping in mind the urgency of the situation, the OBC reservation has to be implemented in all centres. This means that the administration has to bring out OBC lists in centres where no OBC candidate has been selected. .
PH Reservation: It is highly condemnable that the 3% PH reservation was taken away in JNU in this year's admissions. But after a wide-scale protest by the differently abled students and larger student community, a new list was brought out of 31 students. However, given this year's total admissions, the total PH candidates should be 56. Hence, there is an immediate need to correct this short-fall and additional lists have to be brought out to accommodate more candidates from the PH category. .
Waiting List for MA Urdu: It is indeed very surprising that in CIL, no waiting list has been brought out for the MA programme in Urdu. Even after repeated interventions by the JNUSU Councillors, the administration has refused to bring out a waiting list. Even today, they stuck to their position that the eligibility criterion had not been fulfilled. We refuse to accept such fictitious logic of the administration and demand that a waiting list be brought out in MA Urdu. .
The administration, like previous occasions has refused to heed to any of these genuine demands of the students. With the last date of admission process fast approaching on 14th August, it is highly important that the struggle against all these serious discrepancies in our socially-sensitive admission process is further strengthened and be made sharper. This requires rock-solid unity among all sections of the student community. However, it is highly unfortunate that at such a critical time, the JNUSU leadership and the organization leading it has been functioning as the spokespersons of the administration. They are working overtime to confuse the student community, thus weakening the struggle against such anti-student measures. Given the adamancy of the administration, we have decided to intensify our struggle by starting an indefinite hunger strike from today to ensure that the following demands are met: .
1. .
There should be 18% seat increase over the number of students who joined last year in all the centres. .
.
2. .
Transparency in reservation of 12% seats for OBC students across all the centres. .
.
3. .
3% seats should be reserved out of the total seats for PH students, which requires their number to be 56 at .
