Administrative Chaos and Irresponsibility Greet the New Students To JNU!.
Condemn The Massive Inconvenience Enginneered.
.
by the JNU Administration Today!!.
.
JNUSU strongly condemns the manner in which the JNU administration has started conducting the.
2009-10 admissions process. The admissions for the BA/MA programme which started today were char-.
acterised by utter chaos at the Ad Block. Hundreds of students from all over the country reached JNU.
today to take admisisons - only to be greeted by an utterly insensitive, and uncooperative administration..
.
The JNU administration was well-aware that the number of seats have increased this year, and therefore.
many more students would come for taking admission. Despite this, the administration has announced.
that the BA/MA admissions will be completed in just two days (July 23rd and July 24th). This is contrary.
to the practice till last year where BA/MA admissions stretched over three days. Moreover, the grand.
plan of the administration to handle the additional load was not just restricted to curtailing the number.
of days when admissions could be taken. They also decreased the number of counters were the verifi-.
cation of certificates takes place. Today, verification was handled in just one room (Room No 28), and.
there was a single approving authority for all the applications. Till last year, the process of verification.
used to happen in at least three rooms (Room No 24, 28 and 31). As a result of this massive bungling,.
the new students and their guardians had to wait for literally hours in the sweltering heat before their.
applications and folios could be verified and approved. This process of verification is still going on at.
the end of the day, with more than 250 students still waiting in the Ad Bock for their applications.
to be proccesed..
.
One wonders why the administration decided to decrease the number of counters at a time when.
JNU is inviting more students for taking admission. Even in the case of verification of OBC certificates,.
in the morning, there was just one person who was in charge of handing the entire load. After JNUSU.
intervened, another person was also assigned to the job. However, the situation here too remains utterly.
chaotic..
.
It is a long-established practice in JNU that student organizations and JNUSU set up booths during.
the admission process to assist the newcomers. Yesterday, the JNU Security Office (which is headed by.
a person who is yet to understand JNU's culture) came up with an unprecedented order to disallow stu-.
dent groups from setting up booths. JNUSU had to intervene to ensure that this blatantly undemocratic.
order was withdrawn immediately..
.
It is a shame that this administration has scant respect for all the democratic traditions that JNU has.
built over the years. The manner in which new students are introduced to JNU's social milieu in a com-.
pletely friendly, and non- heirarchical manner obviously has not gone down well with the high-handed,.
arrogant and autocratic JNU administration, which fears a united student community beyond anything else..
.
The administration has succeded in creating the chaos that it had so clearly planned. No only did it.
create the chaos, it tried its level best to stop the intervention of JNUSU and other student groups who.
were trying to assist the process. The only art that this administration has perfected to a nicety is to create.
more obstacles and problems for the student community at each turn. This stems from a strong abhor-.
rence to honest dialouge and basic sensitivity to any issue that pertains to the student community. The.
administration is always in the look out for new means of showing its insensitivity. In their arrogance,.
they have now also managed to show their true face to the new students..
.
JNUSU demands the administration should quickly operationalize 3 different rooms each with 5.
counters so as to facilitate the admission process. Also, at least 4 counters should be opened to handle.
the OBC certification and SC/ST certificate verifications. The date of MPhil admisisons should be.
preponed to August 27th (from August 29th) and must be continued till August 5th. Also the second.
round of BA/MA admissions should be preponed to 1st August (instead of 3rd August) and contin-.
