MAKE THE M.Phii/Ph.D. ADMISSION PROCESS TRANSPARENT..
DECLARE THE MARKS OBTAINED BY CANDIDATES BOTH IN THE.
WRITTEN TEST AND THE INTERVIEW.
Friends, .
.
of academtc tnst1tut1ons, the quest1on of mak1ng academ1cs more transparent assumes .
great importance. .
In t~e ~ac~dr?p of a nationwi.de debate ?n issues li~e autonomy and accountabilityOne of the pillars of academic transparency in a university is theof patronage are most passionately voiced. That the M.Phii/Ph.D. admission process in .
admission process, for it is in this realm that concerns over the possible role of the politics.
our own university leaves much to be desired in terms of transparency is an issue that .
demands immediate attention. One fails to understand why the JNU administration neverrespectively. One also fails to comprehend why this lack of transparency has never .
declares the marks obtained by candidates in the written examination and the interviewtroubled the 'progressive' souls of any of our enlightened faculty members!.
The ABVP demands that the marks obtained by candidates seeking admission to the M.Phii/Ph.D. programme in both the written examination and the interview be publicly displayed just like the semester grades. The interview is in fact only an extension of the written examination. While the latter tests the general understanding a candidate has of .
his/her chosen discipline, the former seeks to examine his/her ability of pursuing research on a particular topic, as implied in the very idea of a synopsis presentation. Moreover, both the tests examine the candidate's abilities of critical analysis and coherent .
expression, albeit in different ways. Thus, one would generally not expect the marks .
obtained by a given candidate in the written test and the interview to exhibit too wide a .
variation, unless the interview marks are awarded on grounds extraneous to academics. .
Apart from this, declaration of marks obtained in the written examination would also show .
how fair the internal assessment of M.A. students actually is. A student having an fgpa of .
7.5 to 8 should generally outscore someone with an fgpa of 5.5 to 6, unless the awarding.
ideological, regional or other grounds. .
of grades is dictated by extra academic considerations like favouritism on personal,.
Friends, if inexplicably wide variations are found after the declaration of marks, they .
would indicate either lack of fairness or incompetence of the examiners -possibilities .
which would raise a question mark on the academic worth of our esteemed institution. In.
.
sympathizers in the faculty who ensure their admission by awarding them .
view ofthe widely held opinion on the campus that SF/andA/SA activists have their.
.
immediately display the marks of all candidates. .
obnoxiously high marks in the interview, we demand that the Administration.
Any failure on the part of the .
authorities to impart complete transparency to the admission process shall result in a strong student movement aimed at breaching the academic iron curtain put in place by the .
JNU administration. .

Oppose the Double Speak of AISA led JNUSU on the constitutionally mandated Reservations!! Reject the Politics of '.NO MANDAI-ism' in JNU !! .
The admission process in both JNU and Delhi University has become controversial this year with the .
anti-reservation lobby exerting tremendous ploys to scuttle the constitutionally guaranteed reservations in the intake of students. .
In Delhi University, even after the MHRD directive (directive in response to a delegation from the student community) to the University, the DU administration sought to play 'Hide and Seek' with the .
reservation Policy. .
An RTI filed by NSUI activists in around 30 colleges in 2010 revealed that on an average General Category seats were filled in excess by 30% of the sanctioned strength. It was also revealed that in the very same colleges Reserved Category seats were filled 30% below the sa nctioned strength. Thus, the .~ .
'. and depriving them the 15, 7.5 and 27 percentages. of seats provided by. the Central Educational · .
Institutions·{Reservations in Admission) Act of 2006. .
anti-reservation lobby in the University has been robbing the seats from the SC, ST, and OBC students .
.
The student community in Delhi University had to go for indefinite relay hunger strike with the open support ofDUSU lead by NSUI earlier this week, after which the DU administration had to bring an .
official order so as to ensure fair and proper implementation of constitutionally mandated .
'.
reservations in the admissions for SC/ST/and OBC students. .
On the other hand in JNU, a look into the current year's admission process would reveal a dismal picture with an improper implementation of reservations (SC/ST/OBC/PH) in Mphii/Phd/MA and BA admissions. This not only has brought to light, the extent to which the anti-reservation lobby can scuttle the goal of social justice, but also exposed the dubious role of AISA led JNUSU. When the constitutionally mandated reservations for OBC-SC-ST-PH categories are 27,15,7.5 and 3 percentages respectively, the actual percentage of students in the admission list belonging to the respective categories are 19.63, 11.42, 5.82, 2.39 percentages respectively. Of this criminal injustice in the admission process, it is shocking that there have been no SC/ST and OBC students in the admission list of CITD, Spanish, German centers etc. It was AISA which sought to settle the issue of the reduction of viva voce marks in admissions with academic council decidingto setting up a committee with representation from AISA-Ied JNUSU on 19th March 2012, the follow up of which was completely negative. .
Therefore, the present anomaly in the reservation policy ofJNU has to do more with the role ofJNUSU .
led by A/SA. I~ was A/SA who pioneered the slogan of 'No Manda/ -No Kamandal'. The improper .
implementation ofconstitutionally mandated reservations in various centers in this academic session .
not only vindicated A/SA-ian commitment to 'Kamandal-ism', butalso the ineffectiveness ofthe A/SA's .
rhetoric in JNU. .
NSUI appeals the student community in JNU to oppose the AISA ploy to scuttle the goal of social justice .
in JNU. We appeal you to stand united to fight the opportunism of AISA led JNUSU and for proper .
implementation of reservations in JNU II .
NSU1 congratulates the stu~ent co unity on the ltllfillment ofits demand to bring out a second list ofAdmissions in accordance with the constitutionally mandated reservation policy. The .
second list will be released' tomorrow monling. .

The slabs specified can be additionally verified by taking into account the school fees paid in the institution from which the candidate has completed higher secondary schooling. . .
So the maximum level of deprivation points would be for a female candidate from the SC/ST Community regionally backward on all 3 counts, economically most deprived or for a female OBC candidate regionally backward on all 3 counts, economically most deprived the .
magnitude being 8+7+5=5+5+5+5=20. The deprivation points would be awarded on a scale of hundred. The crucial point is that deprivation points will be cumulative and there will be no trade-off between categori ~s. .
(e) "Special care should be taken to ensure that admission at the M.Phii/Ph.D. level do not get .
restricted to those holding the Master' Degree ofthe JNU. This category of students has been .
educated in the JNU environment and would have generally on edge over others in the .
assessment of suitability for research in this milieu. This should, however, not lead to the .
negation of the All India character of the University. especially in the light of the fact that the .
catcfvnent area for admission at this stage is far wider than at the M.A. stage." ( Academic .
Council Resolution on admjssions policy 1982, paragraph 11) The interview for M.Phil/ Ph.D. .
students should gauge their research intentions and therefore be centered around their .

synopSIS. .
(f) As far as forei· students are concerned, their fees should be indexed to the Human .
.
Development Inoex of their respective countries so as to ensure that students from the developing countries ar~ able to acquire higher education at JNU. .
2. Mode ofselection ofcandidates: Let us suppose 100 candidates have to be selected: .
A. From the merit !ist of the admission test add the gender deprivation points and select the top 35, irrespective of their category. .
B. Then add the deprivation points (of aH other types) and select the top 40 from onJy among those who are eligible for deprivation points i,e. now the list will not include those who are not eligible for deprivation points. .
C. Lastly select the top 22.5% candidates from among the list ofremaining SC/ST candidates. .
.
D. 3% ofseats will be _..ser·ed for PH categ~. ~ ~;dates .
3. Transparency in he Admissior. Process a i _the Role of Student Faculty Committees (SFCs): The SFCs ad piayed a pivotal role iu . ~'ementation of Old Admission Policy. With the unoennir .ng of the latter the SFCs were also considerably weakened. To ensure the success of a progressive admission policy the SFCs have to be revitalised and become competent to play their due role. Transparency can only be ensured if studeu~ participation in the admission process is possible. This will involve initiatives at the level of the Centre and .
prescribin:., certain general guide lines. We propose the foiJowing in the light of the latter consideration: · .
I) The criteria for admission used in interview by the Centre should be discussed in the SFC meeting which should be held before the interviews ( S>' c "· r:t ,-~C·· -? ! ·-~ -{'"'" ·-· -JJ / .
II) The scores in the admission test and interview (wherever held) should"be made public separately and compulsorily. (and not only on request) .
III) Student representative of SFC to sit on the interview boards to avoid victimisation of students. .

Sub: JNU Administration's Incorrect interpretation of Cut-off and Relaxation Norms for .
.
OBC candidates and Non-Fulfillment Of OBC Quota in 2008 Admissions .
Respected Sir, .
This is to bring to your notice a serious anomaly that is going on JNU's Admission process this year with regard .
to the implementation of OBC reservat1on. .
.
At the present JUncture. 11 1s 1mperat1ve that we ensure that OBC reservation as well as the mandated seat .
mcrease IS implemented in accordance With the letter and spirit of the law, as well as in the best interests of the .
student community and the needs of soc1al justice. .
.
What is clear, however. is that from the beginning itself, the implementation of OBC reservation in JNU has .
been beset by irregularities. These irregularities in the admission procedure and form ulae have necessitated .
the intervention of JNUSU t1me and again so as to ensure the proper implementation of the Act. .
.
To begin w1th, the cut-off marks for OBC and General Students for the viva-voce were kept as the same, in .
clear violation of the rules When this anomaly was brought to light, 1t was corrected by providing a 7 point .
relaxation for OBC candidates. and a second list of candidates for v1va was brought out. Subsequently, when .
the flflal results came out, it became evident to JNUSU that despite the relaxation norms adopted by JNU, .
prescribed 1 20/o OBC quota (for this year) has remained unfulfilled and in many centers. not a Slflglo OBC .
student had been admitted .
.
The JNU Administration explained this shortfall by arg uing that despite providing a 10 marks relaxation .
in the merit list eno ugh nurnber of OBC candidates were not available. JNUSU has stated time and .
again that legally m andated relaxation has to be correctly provided in "cut-off" fo r OBC students and .
spurious argurnents about n,erit cannot be used to deny them adrnission. However, in spite of being .
pointed out time and again, JNU adrninistration, reflecting its not-too-hidden bias against reservation, .
continued to adopt criteria which clearly violated the mandated rules and norms. .
.
As against the manner in which the JNU Administration has interpreted and implemented the law, we provide the following analysis both of the law and the corresponding MHRD Directive showing that there have been blatant misinterpretat ions and consequent violations of the "cut-off and relaxation rules" to r OBC candidates in the final selection process in JNU Admissions in 2008. .
Let us make this more clear: .
The Office Memorandum of MHRD dated 20 April, 2008 on the modalities of Im plementation of the OBC Reservation Act offers the follow~ng guidelines ( para (X) and (XI) with respect to the relaxation and application .
Cu -off Rules for OBC reservat1on: .
"Each CEI is also authorized to fix cut off marks for admission/selection through admission test, .
c for the OBC candidates w1th such differential from the cut off marks for the unreserved .
ca :gory as each ins titution may deem appropriate for maintaining the standards of .
_and at_ the ~arne tim e ensuring that sufficient number of OBC candidates are .
keepmg With the directions/observations of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India .
regard Th1s authorization by the central Government to the CEis to fix the cut off marks in .
P 1ance w1th. the Apex Co urts direction asking The Central Government to examine the .
of determmmg such cut-off marks. The Central Government believes that each CEI .
sure that the directions/observations of the Hon'ble Court are followed." .
h are m proc~ss _of conductmg admission tests may decide on the cut-off marks for .
3C category well In t1me, so that consistent with the standards of the education of the sufficient number of eligible OBC candidates are available for selection on the basis .
.
.
.
.
".
alrecdy recognized in other Central universities like ~amia Millia lslamia and AMU. We.demcirid .
that the administration form an Equivalence Committ~e in lhis regard to ensure that the dOorS ·of .
JNU are not closed on the students coming from the Madarsa background. .
Democratization and Strengthening of the Equal OpportunitY Office: After the consistent struggles of the JNUSU in the past, The Equal Opportunity Office was formed in the campus to enquire into the cases of caste abuse in our campus. However, there is a need to make the EOO more accountable and ensure that it has punitive powers. To realize this, there is a need to democratize and strengthen the EOO. Though the administration had earlier agreed to form a committee in this regard. it has still not been constituted. Hence, there is an urgent need to form this committee. .
Ratifv Rules and Procedures of GSCASH and bring Gender VIolence under Hs purview: The GSCASH .
was constituted after a prolonged struggle by the JNU community. But the administration is yet to .
ratify the rules and procedures of GSCASH. which have been recommended by the Rupamanjari .
Ghosh Committee. Also in the context of the rise of incidents of gender violence among .
relationships in the campus, there is a need to bring this issue under the purview of GSCASH. .
Ensure Workers' Rights In the Campus: The issue of workers' rights has been raised by the JNUSU tot some time now. Although certain successes have been registered in terms of full payment by contractors in some cases and compelling the private mess contractors to provide minimum · wages. on the other hand many construction workers and other casual labourers had to face retrenchment and also not paid·the minimum wages. The university administration has to develop .
a mechanism to ensure that minimum wages and all other labour laws are implemented in the .
campus. .
Other Demands: .
.
1. The Women's Studies Programme in the university has to be made a full-fledged centre to promote research in the field of gender. Also, scholarships have to be instituted to students undertaking research in this field. The functioning of North-East Studies should begin immediately. The Centre for Studies in Discrimination and Exclusion in SSS should offer MA and M.Phil courses. Ensure Transparency in the admission process by publishing the marks of written and viva-.
2. voce exams; Hide the column of Caste of the candidates during the viva-voce exam. .
3. Immediately recruit the faculty in SAA to meet the academic demands. .
4. Opening of the Text Book Section of the Central Library for 24 hours by the end-semester .
examinations; Organize books fairs at regular intervals to cater to the growing demand for .
books from the student community; Ensure proper computer cataloguing of the Central .
library and Eximbank. .
5. Open the Health Centre on Sundays as promised during the last year as well as expand the facilities of the Health Centre. .
6. Buy one more bus to meet the demand of the students who have to go to down campus for their classes. .
Institute a Publishing House for the university along the lines of other noted universities..
7. .
8. Start a Translation Division in the university to translate standard academic works into ,--various regional languages and Various Other Demands. These demands have been consistently raised by the JNUSU with the .
administration through signature campaigns and other demonstrative course of action. However, the JNU administration has adopted a dilly-dally approach on all these genuine demands. .
thereby displaying its insensitive attitude. JNUSU demands that the administration has to concede to all these demands at the earliest. We warn the administration that the JNUSU would be forced to go into further demonstrative course of actions if all these demands are not met. We appeal to all the students to rally unitedly under the banner of the JNUSU in the coming days to ensure that !h_e administration adheres to all these demands. Hence, we request the student community to JOin JNUSU's Protest March tonight from the Ganga dhaba in large numbers at 9.30 pm. .
STUDENTS' UNITED SHALL ALWAYS BE VICTORIOUS!.

However, in a shameful display ofarbitrary powerand in a total refusal to face accountability, the ad.minjstration refused to allow the JNUSU President any further space in the .
proceedings of the meeting. .
Among other issues. JNUSU raised the matter that a large number ofseats remain vacant even after the last day of taking admissions. Wherethere isa shortfall in admissions, supplementary lists must be brought out. Tills point was also .
stressed by the Rupamanjari Ghosh Committee. In today's meeting,the Standing Committee promised to the release of .
additional lists in centres where there is a shortfall of50%. .
Non-fulfillnu.nt nfn·st'n't'd tnttgorit's st'aCs: The picture from admissions data .
.
.,the following picture emerges: This year, fromouranalysis ofthe admissions data,.
Under the SC quota 13.9% ofthe seats (out ofthe constitutionally mandated 15%) have been offered with an overall deficit ofat least25 seats. .
In the ST category,though the overal17.5o/o, quota appears to been offered, there are shortfalls ifCentre and .
stream~wise data is looked into. I .
In the PH quota, 2.36% seats have been offered as against the mandated 3%, with an overall deficit ofat least .
14 seats. .
And in the OBC quota, only 14.2% ofthe seats have been offered, as against the stipulated 18% with an overall deficit ofat least 83 seats. .
In the OBC category. not only the overall deficit is significant, theschool-, centre-and program.m.e-wise break-up of .
In SIS M.Phil, only 11.2% ofthe 18°/o OBC quota has been offered with nil offer in as many as 7 centres and.

MA, thl! huge deficit is concentrated in 3 centres ofSSS ( CESP, CHS, CPS) and SIS (ElL). .
What is evident is that there is significant non-fulfillment of reserved category seats, especially in particular centers.In particular, we see a continuing denial to students belonging to the OBC category due to the faulty standards ofapplying the "cut off' mark in admission process adopted by the JNU administration.This discriminatory policy needs to be .

JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY STUDENTS' UNION .
.
AT SSS-1, IN FRONT OF A.C. MEETING .
DEMANDING FULFILLMENT OF ALL OUR DEMANDS .
2.00 PM TODAY .
.
Friends, 10/04/07 .
The JNUSU congratulates the student community for achieving what would be a major achievement in our fight towards strengthening the socially sensitive character of this campus. Yesterday, administration has notified the formation of a commiHee to look into the demand of strengthening and democratizing the Equal Opportunity Office in our campus. This commiHee has Prof C P Bhambri, Prof Gopal Guru and Prof Tulsi Ram as its members. The JNUSU had been consistently raising this demand since the past few years. In the last years' historic agitation which won us Rs 1500 MCM forM Phil/ Ph D students and Rs 1000 flr.BA/MA students, the administration was made to concede this demand as well. JNUSU appeals to all the democratic progressive sections of the campus to go and give their concrete suggestions in front of this committee so that.we can ensure that the EOO emerges as a more vibrant and strong institution promoting social justice in our university. · .
Though this is a major victory for the students' movement in our campus there are many issues on which there is a need to take the administration head on. On most of the crucial issues which face the student community this year, JNU administration has been behaving in the most ins~nsitive manner. The fact that many of the important demands which were being raised by the JNUSU, like the issue of disbursing UGC fellowships of Rs 3000 and Rs 5000 to the M Phil and Ph D students, increasing the MCM of BA/MA students to 1500 and recognizing Alimiyat-Fazilat certificates for admissions to BA Jst year do not even feature in the agenda of today's Academic Council Meeting is a clear manifestation of this fact. The JNUSU will also oppose any proposal of the administration to implement the process of 27% OBC reservation in our university in a staggered fashion. Since the last one year we have been consistently demanding that the administration must build a concrete blueprint for the Implementation of 27% OBC reservation and 54% seat Increase In our campus and any delay or dilution in this regard would not be acceptable to the student community. The JNUSU would go and raise its protest against this anti-student behavior of the administration in today's AC meeting. We are also giving an appeal to all the AC members to rally them behind the genuine demands of the student community and build pressure on the administration for conceding to our demands. The JNUSU demands that the following demands must be discussed and amicably resolved in today's AC meeting: .
.
Evolve a proper blueprint to implement 27% OBC reservation and 54% seat increase from the next academic session. .
.
.
Immediately start the Rs 3000 and Rs 5000 UGC fellowships for all research scholars who are not getting any ass1stance now. .
.
.
Formulate the promised committee to implement the full package of financial assistance demanded by last years· JNUSU. .
.
.
Recognize Alimiyat Fazilat degrees for BA 1st year admissions. .
.
.
Ratify Rules and Procedures of GSCASH. Enhance the scope of GSCASH to address the issue of domestic violence. .
.
.
Ensure transparency in JNU admission process. .
.
.
Evolve a mechanism to protect workers' right and ensure adherence to all the labour laws in our campus. .
.
.
Stop corporate funding in all the centres and schools. .
.
.
Convert the women's study programme into a full fledged centre and institute scholarships for those doing .
.
.
research in the area of gender studies and other demands. The JNUSU appeals to the student community to participate in large numbers in a protest demonstration in front the ~C meeting and give a strong message to the university administration that we will not tolerate any dilly dallytng as regards our genuine demands. .
It is very unfortunate that the JNUSU Gen Secy who took the Charter of demands from the JNUSU President on last Wednesday has not given It back till date. This unwarranted and irresponsible delay has meant that JNUsus charter has not been submitted to the administration till now. In the past also such Irresponsible and non s.tous attitude of the JNUSU Gen Secy has taken a toll on the effective functioning of the JNUSU at the cost of student issues. We appeal to the JNUSU Gen Secy to give the Charter as soon as possible so that itcan be submitted to the.

Friends, .
The Standing Committee Meeting on this year's admissions has been called tomorrow morning by the concerns of the student community. Like last year, the OBC reservation has remained unfulfilled this yearadministration. The SFI has come to know that the JNUSU has not been invited for the meeting. Such a .
step of the administration further exposes its insensitive and anti-democratic character in not meeting the .
too. Neither the 18 o/o OBC reservation {which is still lower than the mandated 27°/o) nor the concomitant .
seat increase of 30°/o has happened this year. There are many centres where not a single student has .
year too. The non-fulfillment of the constitutionally mandated reservations and seat increase speaks gained admission under the OBC category. There are short falls in SC/ST and PH reservations as well this .
multitudes of the casteist and elite character of the JNU administration, which has time and again sought to .
sabotage the policy of social justice in the university. .
its way by the inept role of the AISA-Ied JNUSU. The JNUSU leadership did not undertake any concrete .
.
While the shameful role of the administration is very much explicit, it has also been allowed to have .
plan of action in confronting the administration on this issue. Right from the time of the Academic Council .
.
Meeting in April this year, the JNUSU did not deem it fit to rally the students on such a crucial issue. In fact, the JNUSU never felt it necessary to call for a Protest Demonstration at this AC Meeting, where the proposal .
for 18°/o OBC reservation and 30°/o seat increase was passed. From then till today, the AJSA and the JNUSU .
the valuable time was been spent in ranting against the SFI and other organizations for not having a leadership has only been interested in mere tokenism in the form of 'protest meetings'. A major portion of .
'focussed intervention'. The student community owes an explanation from the AISA and JNUSU leadership as to why not a single demonstrative action was undertaken by the JNUSU till now on the issue. Perhaps, in seeking a 'focused intervention', the JNUSU altogether lost the focus of the gravity and seriousness of the issue at hand. .
However, the battle against the non-fulfillment of the mandated reservations was lost, the day JNUSU compromised on the 27°/o OBC reservation and 54o/o seat increase in the special AC meeting .
in June last year to settle for 12°/o, which also subsequently remained unfulfilled. The student .
community of this campus has also not forgotten as to how the AISA and the JNUSU leadership had been .
peddling the logic of the administration that no seat cuts had taken place. Even this time around, one is curious to know if the protest demonstration called by the JNUSU tomorrow is out of genuine conviction or is .
it just another token protest. The JNUSU has not even explored all options to exert maximum pressure on the administration, to let them attend the Standing Committee. One has ample reasons to believe that our .
JNUSU Office Bearers did not want to go into this meeting only. Otherwise the student community has not allowed into the standing committee meeting which was deliberating on the price of application forms. In .
forgotten the last semester's agitation when despite there being a stay on the JNUSU elections JNUSU was fact, the AISA-led JNUSU has called for a Protest Demo at 9.30 in the morning, while the Standing Committee Meeting is slated for 11 am. In fact, such is the 'focused' interest of the AISA on this issue that they have a programme outside the campus tomorrow morning at 10!! However, one cannot .
expect anything better from the AISA-Ied JNUSU, for the organization was itself built on the slogan of 'No Manda/, No Kamanda/'. .
SFI had from the beginning demanded that a Standing Committee Meeting had to be called in the midst of .
process is al~ost over. Though the damage has already been done, we still believe that sustained efforts .
the admission process, to fulfill the reservations and other shortfalls. This meeting comes after this year's have to contmue to force the administration address the genuine concerns of the student community. We .
Co.mmi~ee Meeting to uphold equality and social justice, which have been long cherished traditions of the .
call upon the students to assemble in large numbers in Ad. Block tomorrow in front of the Standing umvers1ty, formed by successive struggles of the progressive student movement. .

do away with caste identification in viva forms. In spite of the fact that the matter has been persistently raised in the AC and JNUSUs Charter of Demands, we wonder why the administration is always postponing its implementation under one pretext or the other. With RTI Act in place this has become a redundant secrecy and the administration should implement it immediately in the interest of a healthy, transparent, accountable and democratic academic culture in JNU. The JNUSU Vice-President and general Secretary forcefully raised the above demands in a note widely circulated in the last Academic Council Meeting, and through successive memoranda. We appeal to the JNU student community to strengthen this struggle to democratise JNUs Admission process and ensure social justice, as well as expand JNUs infrastructure to accommodate more students. Further, we must also Challenge the Systematic Dilly-Dallying and Delay on part of the UPA Government in Implementing Rajiv Gandhi Fellowship or Coming Up With Concrete Schemesfor Financial Assistance for Minority Students. .
It is now two years since the Rajiv Gandhi Fellowship was announced in the Union Budget and yet even the first instalment has not been released. Among ST research scholars who had applied from JNU, partial selection has been done but funds are yet to be released, while for SC students, even the selection list has not arrived in spite of delegations and protest demonstrations at the level of both the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment and the UGC. Such insensitivity on part of Government has put SC/ST research scholars in extremely difficult situations, who, in anticipation of the fellowship, had altered their career plans. .
Worse still is the situation with fellowships and financial assistance for minority students. Despite all the hype about implementation of Sachar Committee recommendations, and despite Union govt.s periodic announcements of increasing the corpus fund for Maulana Azad Education Foundation, no concrete scheme of Scholarships/ Fellowships for the minority students suffering social and economic deprivations has been announced. JNU students must demand that suitable scholarship schemes are instituted for minority students in higher education, and must also pursue the implementation Single Girl Child Fellowships in JNU at the earliest. .
AISA Will Not Compromise on Peoples Cause .
The JNUSU President from SFI suppressed information about a meeting on implementation of 27% quota with the Administration and lied in the meeting that he had informed the JNUSU General Secretary. This was a grave act of impropriety that is bound to damage the student movement for social justice. Unable to defend this piece of sectarianism, SFI in its last poster has accused AISA of sectarianism on the grounds that the JNUSU General Secretary held a separate demonstration on the Nithari killings rather than joining the demo called by the JNUSU President. .
Be it on the Nithari killings or on Armed Forces Special Powers Act or the eviction at Singur and Nandigram, we have seen time and again that the initiatives and stances of SFIs representatives in JNUSU are constrained by the compulsions of defending Governments either run by or supported by their parent party CPI(M).

WHY VIVA Weightage MustBe Reduced .
JNU prides itself on a progressive admissions policy and social justice. but on the ground it is being subverted in many ways.

Following Three Years Of Ceaseless Struggles, A Historic Verdict By The Apex Court On 18 Aug 2011 Finally Stops The Open Robbery Of OBC Seats
.
The JNU administrations attempts to undermine OBC reservations through faultyCut-Off criterion was robustly challenged by the AISA-led JNUSU, right from 2008itself. In repeated demonstrations, hunger strikes and other forms of protests, thiscampus has waged a protracted struggle against the JNU administration and forsocial justice. A timeline: .
.
.
In July-Aug 2008 itself, the AISA-led JNUSU began a hunger-strike against JNU administrations wrong interpretation of cut-off that went on for 14 days. .
.
.
In the midst of the Hunger Strike, we led a demonstration to the UGC on 13 Aug. to highlight JNUs use of faulty cut-off to sabotage OBC reservations. .
.
.
These protests forced the JNU Administration to agree to set up a committee to look into the non-fulfilment of reservations. However, the administration subsequently chose to appoint Prof. Aditya Mukherjee, well-known for his anti-reservation credentials, as the head of this committee. Violating the agreement, the committee refused to have any student representation. .
.
.
Over the next three years, the Aditya Mukherjee Committee was used by the administration to ratify its faulty and illegal admission processes, despite protests by JNUSU and concerned faculty members. .
.
.
JNUSU organized a public meeting on 1Sep. 2008, with Prof. Satish Deshpande and Yogendra Yadav, who were noted experts on the question. The Associate Dean, Sachidanand Sinha was also invited and came for the discussion where he grudgingly accepted the arguments of the speakers but took no further action. .
.
.
During September, Memorandums were submitted to both the MHRD and UGC, .
.
.
but no substantive interventions were made by them. .
.
Before the 2009 admissions, the Aditya Mukherjee Committee rubber-stamped the universitys faulty and illegal cut-off criterion as the basis for admissions. This despite the note of dissent provided by one of its members, Dr. Lobiyal advocating the position articulated by the progressive student community. .
.
.
The Academic Councils acceptance of the Aditya Mukherjee Committee recommendation predictably led to non-fulfilment of reserved OBC seats on a larger scale in 2009 admissions. .
.
.
To counter the deliberate misinformation by the JNU Administration, JNUSU organized a Symposium with several faculty members on 3 August, 2009 to discuss our position on OBC reservations vis-a-vis the administrations position. .
.
.
Convinced by the correctness of our logic, many faculty members signed a statement espousing this position and also met the VC in a delegation. .
.
.
The Vice-Chancellor, however, responded only by promising to re-look at the issue. The Aditya Mukherjee committee was reconvened. However, it did not change its earlier recommendations. .
.
.
.
.
.
.
deemed necessary by the Commission for advancing the cause of higher education in India. In pursuance of the above mandate, the Commission has decided to notify the following guidelines on entitlements of students and obligations of universities and colleges and students enrolled therein. .
OUR RESPONSE: There is a problem with a perspective that sees the role of students as being no more than human resources who have to be enriched. Instead, we see the role of education as producing thinking individuals, who have questioning minds, who use their critical training to question and reconsider existing hierarchies, and are committed to use their training to give back to society. .
1. GENERAL .
1.1 No student shall be discriminated on the basis only of caste, creed, colour, race, religion, ethnicity, place of birth, civil status, political convictions, language, gender, socio-economic status, age, disabilities, or any of them. .
OUR RESPONSE: This entitlement has to be phrased positively rather than negatively, i.e. it should say that a university should bring together students irrespective of difference of caste, race, religion etc. This is necessary because we are aspiring for a positive set of goals and a vision for the university, rather than simply an alleviation of existing forms of discrimination. .
1.2 Every student shall have the right to be protected by the university/college against misconduct on the part of other member of the university; and to be helped or facilitated by the university/college in safeguarding her/his legal rights and other entitlements. .
OUR RESPONSE: This point (1.2) should be linked to the preceding point (1.1) and misconduct should be defined in terms of discrimination on basis of caste, creed, colour, race, religion, ethnicity, place of birth etc .
Further, the statement that a student should be only helped or facilitated by the university when he/she is subject to discrimination is worrying and needs to be reworked. It suggests that a university has barely any responsibility in upholding a persons rights, it must merely safeguard them. Instead, we would argue that a university is duty-bound to ensure that such rights are not violated within its premises (or even in the case of enrolled students living outside the campus) and in situations where such violations occur it must go beyond help and facilitation to provide protection and redress. .

AISA HAILS HISTORIC SC VERDICT ON OBC RESERVATIONS .
Today SC Finally Declares Cut-off to be defined as Minimum Eligibility, Removes Central Road Block for Non-fulfilment of OBC Seats! .
Supreme Court Verdict on Cut-off Criterion of OBC Reservations is a Victory for the last 3 years of AISAs struggle Sucheta De .
New Delhi, August 18, 2011 .
In a statement issued today, the All India Students Association (AISA) welcomed todays Supreme Court judgement on the cut-off criterion for OBC reservations. .
The Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Raveendran and Patnaik today clarified that cut-off is synonymous with minimum eligibility, and the 10% relaxation in cut-off for OBC candidates is to be calculated from the minimum eligibility mark, and NOT from the mark obtained by the last general category candidate to secure admission. This verdict has removed the main reason for non-fulfilment of OBC seats, and is a major blow to the agenda of anti-reservationist forces. .
Dismissing the appeal by the YFE and PV Indiresan against the Delhi HC verdict of 7 September 2010, the SC Bench upheld the Delhi HC verdict and ordered all universities and colleges which are in the midst of their admission process must make all necessary corrections, define eligibility marks as cut-off, and fill OBC seats accordingly by 31 August. This judgement will have far-reaching consequences not only in JNU but also in universities all over the country. .
Responding to the verdict, Sucheta De, Secretary of the JNU Unit of AISA said, This verdict is a vindication of the struggle that was begun by the AISA-led JNUSU three years ago. In 2008, the JNU Administration, in order to subvert OBC reservations, wrongly interpreted cut-off as the marks obtained by the last general category student to secure admission, rather than as minimum eligibility marks. The 10 % relaxation for OBC students was calculated from this distorted benchmark; as a result OBC quota remained unfulfilled and most OBC seats converted to general category seats. Even other universities like DU and Allahabad University adopted this clever ploy created by JNU, in order to ensure non-fulfilment of OBC quota and diversion of OBC seats. .
Sucheta said, Right from the start, AISA alerted everyone that this method of fixing cut-offs was flawed and would never allow OBC seats to be filled. AISA waged a sustained struggle against this wrong definition of cut-off, using admission data obtained through RTIs to prove the validity of our argument. In the three years that followed, AISA launched a sustained campaign and struggle to rectify the distorted implementation of OBC quotas in JNU and elsewhere. Eventually, in 2010, our stance was vindicated by the Delhi High Court in a landmark verdict. .
Sucheta added, The anti-reservation YFE and die-hard casteist P V Indiresan filed an SLP (special leave petition) challenging the HC verdict in the Supreme Court. Todays verdict finally vanquished the anti-reservation forces even in the Supreme Court, which firmly upheld that cut-off and minimum eligibility were one and the same thing. .
Commenting on the Central Governments double standards on OBC reservations, Shephalika Shekhar, AISA leader and former JNUSU Vice President said, We repeatedly approached the HRD Ministry and Social Justice .

JNUSU Note : Why Viva marks Must be Reduced .
JNU prides itself on a progressive admissions policy and social justice. but on the ground it is being subverted in many ways. OBC reservations were scuttled for 3 years costing 400 students their futures! Now it has become increasingly evident how across centres and categories, viva-voce marks are being used to exclude and discriminate. .
Open Violation of the Order Of A Constitutional Bench .
Admission to JNU based in two components: a written exam and then a viva. JNU allots a weightage of 30% for viva-voce. But way back in November 1980, a 5-Judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court comprising legal luminaries like P.N. Bhagwati, Y.V. Chandrachud (CJI), V.R. Krishnaiyer, Syed Murtaza Fazal Ali, A.D. Koshal) had clearly said, .
We are of the view that, under the existing circumstances, allocation of more than 15% of the total marks for the oral interview would be arbitrary and unreasonable and would be liable to be struck down as constitutionally invalid .
Why then is the JNU Administration continuing with its blatant illegality? .
When Written Is Reduced to a MERE "Qualifier", Viva Becomes the REAL 'Judge'! .
The idea of having two components to the admission process is that BOTH SHOULD HAVE a complementary role in final selection. The problem comes when some people decide that the written is ONLY a qualifying mark and that admission will be determined SOLELY based on performance in the viva. Consequently, we see two kinds of situations in the admissions data, where students (cutting across categories): .
(A) .
Have an average and high performance in the written, but very low marks in the viva. (This pattern is particularly visible for reserved category students.) .
.
(B) .
Show average or less performance in the written, but very high marks in the viva. .
.
.
Clearly, the interview is being used to distribute subjective biases and select or reject candidates based on viva-voce alone. .
See for yourself how this works! : .

Regardless of how well you perform in the written exam, the viva alone will decided your entry into the university and your academic fate! .
The Strange Clustering of Marks in Viva .
A careful study of viva marks shows a strange distribution with marks clustered either between 0-5 or in the 25-30 range. In the normal course, it is expected that the majority of the students would get average marks between 10-20 with a few very good as well as few very bad performers. Clearly something is very wrong in the way students are being judged in their viva, where they are either "very good" or "very bad". The obvious explanation is that the interview board is using this bimodal marks distribution to select or reject candidates based on viva-voce alone. .

lists to fulfill the seat requirements. .
2. Since the total number of seats for M.Phii/Ph.D programme has decreased for many of th.e ·:· Centres. these seats should be increased such that 18% more students join this year compared to last year. There should be no seat decrease under any circumstances in any .

HISTORIC VICTORY FOR OBC RESERVATIONS:.
.
Today SC Finally Declares `Cut-off' to be defined as `Minimum Eligibility', Removes.
Central Road Block for Non-fulfilment of OBC Seats!.
.
Verdict Vindicates the Position that AISA Had Been Painstakingly Arguing Against All.
Opposition for the Last 3 Years.
.
AISA hails today's historic Supreme Court judgement on the cut-off criterion for OBC reservations. The.
Supreme Court bench comprising Justices Raveendran and Patnaik today clarified that `cut-off' is synonymous.
with `minimum eligibility,' and the relaxation in cut-off for OBC candidates is to be calculated from the.
minimum eligibility mark, and not from the mark obtained by the last general category candidate to secure.
admission. Dismissing the appeal by the YFE and PV Indiresan against the Delhi HC verdict of 7 September 2010,.
the SC Bench upheld the Delhi HC verdict and ordered all universities and colleges which are in the midst of.
their admission process must make all necessary corrections, define eligibility marks as cut-off, and fulfil.
OBC reservations accordingly by 31 August..
.
This verdict is a vindication of the struggle that was begun by the AISA-led JNUSU three years ago..
In 2008, the JNU Administration, in order to subvert OBC reservations, wrongly interpreted `cut-off' as the marks.
obtained by the last general category student to secure admission, rather than as `minimum eligibility marks.' The.
10 % relaxation for OBC students was calculated from this distorted benchmark; as a result OBC quota remained.
unfulfilled and most OBC seats converted to general category seats. Even other universities like DU and Allahabad.
University adopted this clever casteist device created by JNU, in order to ensure non-fulfilment of OBC quota and.

Right from the start, when JNU announced its 2008 OBC admission policy itself, AISA alerted everyone.
that this method of fixing `cut-offs' was flawed and would never allow OBC seats to be filled. AISA waged.
a sustained struggle against this wrong definition of `cut-off,' using admission data obtained through RTIs.
to prove the validity of our argument. In the three years that followed, AISA launched a sustained campaign.
and struggle to rectify the distorted implementation of OBC quotas in JNU and elsewhere. From 2008 uptil the.
JNU AC meet in March 2010, all other organizations in JNU ran a vitriolic campaign against AISA on this.
question, and refused to accept our point about the false definition of cut-off, or participate in a single.
protest programme or public meeting! Only many JNU teachers saw our point, supported the campaign and.
took bold positions in various forums like the AC or Dean's Committee. Despite this hostility, AISA conducted a lone.
battle for correct implementation of OBC quota..
.
Eventually, in 2010, our stance was vindicated by the Delhi High Court in a landmark verdict. Infact, the.
SFI was so upset by the Delhi HC's vindication of AISA's position that they could not even welcome the.
verdict for 48 hours!.
.
YFE however understood the importance of the HC verdict and the verdict's power to stop the YFE's ploy to.
subvert and deny OBC reservations, and so YFE filed an SLP (special leave petition) challenging the HC verdict.
in the Supreme Courtin Sep 2010. Today's verdict finally vanquished the anti-reservation forces even in the.
Supreme Court, which firmly upheld that `cut-off' and `minimum eligibility' were one and the same thing..
.
The episode also exposed the double standards of the Congress-UPA Central government on the question of.
OBC reservations. In the course of the struggle, we repeatedly approached the HRD Ministry and Social Justice.
Ministry, asking them to step in and settle the matter by clarifying how their own law on OBC reservations was to.
be interpreted. Not only did the Central Government fail to do so. In fact during the JNU case in the Delhi HC, the.
Counsel for Central Government actually argued in support of the JNU Administration and YFE advocates, arguing.
against our (correct) interpretation of `cut-off marks.' It was only after the Delhi HC verdict vindicated AISA's 3-year.
long struggle that the Central Government changed its posture..
.
It is indeed a moment of celebration for all those who stand by social justice and the constitutional.
rights of deprived sections of society to reservations. The whole struggle has exposed how anti-reservationists.
occupying high positions inside JNU administration tried to subvert OBC reservations by hook or by crook - and.
today, the sustained struggle of the JNU community, including students as well as progressive teachers, against.
these ploys, has won a huge victory in the shape of the SC verdict..
.
We appeal to all JNU students and organizations who stand by social justice to join a massive.
.
United Victory Procession from Ganga Dhaba, 9.30 pm tonight (18 August).
