It is matter ofgreat concern and in fact shame that in a University li ke JNU which is known primarily fo r its commit-ment to social justice, one reservations are being scuttku in a system~tic m~nncr by the JNU admini~tration. For the past .
one ye:-.r, Ji'USU has been pointing out that the criteri:l th:-~t the JNU adminis tration is adopting for setting cut-off m:-.rks for OBC C<lndidates is castcist, faulty and structurally designed to ensure that mand:1tcd one scats will never be filled. J\lloreover, the ~dminislration's craftily designed crit~ria are violative of various Supreme Court verdicts and I\lHRD's explicit directives on the mode of implementation ofthc 013C Res~rvation Act. .
In a clearly illegal manner, the JNU administration sets the cut-ofTmark for OBC candidates by giving them a 10-rnark "relaxation" from the mark of last general category student. In other words, the administration expects the entire OBC quota of27% to be filled in this narrow band of 10 marks. By thus reducing the pool of"eligible" OBC candidates available .
for admission throu~b this criteria. the JNU administration is claiming that there are ·'no eligible candidates·'. JNU is ready in principle to admit. students from tbe 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 t this an example of blatant double standards? If this is not casteism and discrimination,.
are going vacant? Isn' 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 bv unfairly tyin!l their selection to the performance of the general categorv students. the administration has converted reservation into open competition between the OBC candidates to achieve marks wjtbin 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 .
JNU's concern for social justice. .
Last year, after 13 days Inde.finite Hunger Strike by JNUSU on this issue, JNU administration formed a Committee .
under Prof. Aditya Mukherjee to "examine" the issue. However, all ~hat the committee did was to put a seal ofnpprov:1l .
on JNU administration's 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 beU 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 ofOBC reservation in JNU, a concerted l .
.
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 consens us 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 ofMHRD directives by the JNU administration. .
In this regard, JNUSU is organising a symposium on "Examining JNU's Admission Process With Regardto implemen-.
tation ofOBC Reservation: WHY do OBC Seats Remain Unfulfilled? WHAT Musi Be Done?" with Centre Chairpersons ISand Faculty Members and JNUTA at the SSS Jl Committee Room at 2.30 p.m. on 3rd August. We appeal to the student community to partic-ipate in this symposium along with faculty members to ensure that immediate steps are taken for MobeenAlam.
