It is matter of great concern and in fact shame that in a University like JNU which is known primarily for its commit-ment to social justice, OBC reservations are being scuttled in a systematic manner by the JNU administration. For the past one year, JNUSU has been pointing out that the criteria that the JNU administration is adopting for setting cut-off marks for OBC candidates is casteist, faulty and structurally designed to ensure that mandated OBC seats will never be filled. Moreover, the administrations craftily designed criteria are violative of various Supreme Court verdicts and MHRDs explicit directives on the mode of implementation of the OBC Reservation Act. .
In a clearly illegal manner, the JNU administration sets the cut-off mark for OBC candidates by giving them a 10-mark relaxation from the mark of last general category student. In other words, the administration expects the entire OBC quota of 27% to be filled in this narrow band of 10 marks. By thus reducing the pool of eligible OBC candidates available for admission through this criteria, the JNU administration is claiming that there are no eligible candidates. JNU is ready in principle to admit students from the General Category even at 40 marks if seats are available. How come then that an OBC candidate with marks way above 40 is considered ineligible in the OBC category seats even if seats are going vacant? Isnt this an example of blatant double standards? If this is not casteism and discrimination, then what is? .
What JNU administration is essentially doing is killing the very idea of reservations. Through setting the cut-off marks for OBC candidates in this manner by unfairly tying their selection to the performance of the general category students, the administration has converted reservation into open competition between the OBC candidates to achieve marks within a small range decided by the performance of general category candidates. Unless this serious anomaly is cor-rected, OBC reservations will never be fulfilled in this University, making a complete and shameful mockery of JNUs concern for social justice. .
Last year, after 13 days Indefinite Hunger Strike by JNUSU on this issue, JNU administration formed a Committee under Prof. Aditya Mukherjee to examine the issue. However, all that the committee did was to put a seal of approval on JNU administrations devious tactics, not only by denying JNUSU any representation under the pretext of stay on JNUSU elections but also stonewalling all our reasoned arguments innumerable times. The present JNU administration has indeed created new records of making mockery of any logical dialogue, written agreements-now it is hell bent on trivialising and violating even the law of the land on implementing reservation, to serve its brazen reactionary agenda. .
Given the nature of challenges and anomalies in the proper implementation of OBC reservation in JNU, a concerted intervention from various corners of the JNU community is the need of the hour. Those committed to social justice will have to build a wide-ranging consensus in JNU to recognize this central stumbling block to the implementation of OBC reservations. Only well concerted efforts can rectify the discrepancies in implementation of the reservation, caused by the deliberate misinterpretation of MHRD directives by the JNU administration. .
In this regard, JNUSU is organising a symposium on Examining JNUs Admission Process With Regard to Implemen-tation of OBC Reservation: WHY do OBC Seats Remain Unfulfilled? WHAT Must Be Done? with Centre Chairpersons and Faculty Members and JNUTA at the SSS II Committee Room at 2.30 p.m. on 3rd August. We appeal to the student community to participate in this symposium along with faculty members to ensure that immediate steps are taken for .
