Resist Seat Cuts in JNU Admissionsl .
Fight the shameless betrayal of 2r1. OBC reservation and 54% seat increaseD .
Down with JNUSU Office-bearers' complicity with the anti-student JNU AdministrationiU .
Friends, .
Several problems have surfaced in the admission process of JNU for the year 2008: .
.
: .
27% OBC reservation in one go was abandoned in favour·of a phased implementation, .
with only 12% OBC reservation for this year. .
.
.
: .
Far from the promised 54% seat increase, we are witnessing seat cuts in various centres .
.
.
and programmes of study. .
: OBC reservation has not been implemented properly in many centres and the overall .
percentage of students admitted under OBC reservation is unknown. .
.
·:· The Ume-tested process of Intake-Offer for admissions has been shelved in favour of the .
failed system of Waiting Lists. .
: Admissions for the reserved category of Physically Challenged students has been distorted .
and tampered with. .
: Past precedence·o~ holding a mid way meeting of the Standing Committee on Admissions .
in order to redress any shortfall in admission before the 14'h of August has been .
.
I ' .
.
abandoned. .
And to top it all, the JNUSU offi<:e bearers from AISA are hand in glove with the JNU .
Administration in all these anti-student moves and have emerged as the biggest defenders or .
the Administration. The JNUSU President has defended the JNU Administration in the informal .
Council Meeting held on 3rd August and expressed satisfaction with the current state of affairs. .
.
HOW THE AISA-LED JNUSU BETRAYEO 27% OBC RESERVATION .
.
The JNU Academic Council had decided in 2007 to implement 27% reservation for .OBC students \ .
at one go, precisely because JNU already had a relatively high percentage of OBC students .
{around 20% to 21 %) owing to the deprivation points system. In fact, in 2007 the percentage of .
OBC students went up to 24% as noted in the minutes of the Academic Council: .
.
"The number of students belonging to the other backward' castes [sic] enrolled this year .
[20.07-08] has been close t9 24% which together with the students belonging to SC/ST/PH .
categories and those admitted from the socially deprived sections come io more than .
half of the total enrolment." [p.1 3, Minutes of AC Meeting held on November 20, 2007] .
.
11 should be obvious that in the admissions for 2008, if the proportion of OBC students is less than .
24%, that would imply a decline in the percentage of OBC students admitted to JNU compared .
to last year. It is therefore shocking to find the JNUSU office-bearers from AISA celebrating the .
implementation of only 12% OBC reservations in -JNU this year as a 'victory'! Whose garne is AISA .
trying to play through such cynical manoeuvres? AISA's proclivity towards appeasement of the .
anti-reservationists is well known. AISA had coined the notorious slogan of 'No Mandai No .
