SC, ST and PH seats were being filled by publicizing an all-inclusive list of SC, ST and PH students including.
those who qualified in the general merit. This year JNUSU intervened strongly in the matter and insisted.
that the administration not engage in this fudging of data to maintain the progressive façade of the.
university, but provide separate lists showing the actual number of SC, ST and PH candidates admitted.
on the basis of reservation. This the JNU Administration was compelled to do..
.
Where the university argued that the seats for SC, ST and PH students remained unfilled as no eligible.
candidate was to be found, JNUSU's response was that that year after year JNU could offer admission to.
more reserved category students than the given capacity then how is it that this year the university could not.
even find enough eligible candidates to fill the given seats? Does this not show an obvious discrimination.
that merits a serious inquiry? In light of these specific questions, the JNU administration agreed to set.
up a committee to review the admission process especially the non-fulfilment of seats of SC, ST and.
PH students. JNUSU stated forcefully that representation from JNUSU, JNUTA and the Equal Opportunity.

OBC reservations: the steps ahead and the challenges that remain.

From the outset, despite media pronouncements on making JNU a 'model' in implementing reservations,.
the JNU administration's every step had been in the opposite direction. At the very first stage, they did not.
give any relaxation for OBC candidates appearing in the viva. At the last stage, they used the relaxation.
criterion of "cut-off" in an arbitrary manner, violating the MHRD directive so as to ensure that the 12%.
OBC reservation stipulated for this year never gets fulfilled. The fact that there is a shortfall even to.
fulfil this 12% seats, was a direct result of this wrong application of mandated relaxation of cut-off.

In the face of this utter illegality, JNUSU had forced the Administration to come out in writing about.
its position ( which they had been refusing for a long time) so that its tenability can be concretely tested.
with respect to the Act and the attendant MHRD directive. In this direction, the administration has also.
been forced to agree to set up a committee of experts with JNUSU representation, so that the central.
roadblock put up by the administration for the fulfilment ofseats for OBC students, can be decisively.
resolved. It is urgent that administration's arbitrary position paper is contested in every forum, without which.
reservation for the OBC students will remain permanently scuttled..

The challenge before the university community remains that of correctly implementing OBC reservation.
on this campus, and ensuring that the illegal criterion imposed by the university must be corrected. JNUSU.
will fight this struggle not only in the proposed committee to be set up by the university, but also in.
all forums beyond. JNUSU will take the discrepancies in fulfilling the OBC quota in JNU to all forums.
