Sumeet were standing at the bus stop to assist new students in their admission process. The incident started with an.
admission assistance booth. There was a heated exchange of words and some pushing around between them .

with some other students tried to toke Rojon away from Sumeet to ensure that nothing untoward happens..

However after 5-10 minutes when it seemed that things hod been resolved Rojon took a stone and hit Sumeet on.
Rojon has been suspended from the university by the Proctor's Office and a Proctorial enquiry has been ordered into the incident. We believe that such violent acts ore completely antithetical to the democratic culture of JNU. It is all the more shameful because the whole incident took place in front of new students and their parents. JNU is known for its progressive values and the entire exercise of admission assistance is also done in the some spirit where new students ore helped in their admission process. The new students who come from differentprocess. However the degeneration which has led to a situation where new students ore pounced upon with places all across the country get their first exposure to the political culture of JNU in the admission assistance ~.

Unite to Defeat JNU Administration's Continuing Casteist .
' .
Manipulations to Deny OBC Rcscrvntions.
7.8.09 .
In the meeting ofthe Standing Committee on Admissions held today, JNUSU made a strong case demanding immediate course correction on the anom~lies in the admission policy. The demand was raised that the university .
correct the signi ticant non-fulfillment ofReserved Category Seats in JNUAdmissions of2009-I0 as well as fulfill all vacant seats. While initially, the administration tried to prevent the JNUSU President from stating his position in the meeting, they were eventually forced to listen to our case. However, in a shameful display ofarbitrary power and in a total refusal toface accountability, the administration refusedto allow the JNUSU President any further space in the proceedings ofthe meeting. Among other issues, JNUSU raised the matter that a large nwnberofseats remain vacant even after the last day of taking admissions. Where there is a shortfall in admissions, supplementary lists must be brought out. This 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-fulfillrncnt ofrcscrvt.'d t.nh·gnrics sc;lts: The picture from admissions data .
This year, from our analysis ofthe admissions data, the following picture emerges: .
.
Under the SC quota 13.90;o ofthe seats (out ofthe constitutionally mandated 15%) have been offered with an .
overall deficit ofat least 25 seats. .
In the ST category,·though the overall 7.5o/o, quota appears to been offered, there are shortfalls ifCentre and stream-wise data is looked into. .
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°/o 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, the school-, centre-and programme-wise break-up of .
the deficit n1akes the picture really alamung. .
InSIS M.Phil, only 11.2% ofthe 18% OBC quota has been offered with nil offer in as many as 7 centres and deficit offer in 2 centres, leading to an absolute deficit ofat least 11 seats. .
Similarly, in SSS M.PhiL programmes, only 9.2% ofthe 18% OBC quota has been offered with nil offer in as many as 3 centres and significant deficit offer in 6 centres, leading to an absolute deficit ofat least 24 seats. .
In SL&CS M.phil also, only 13.7% OC quota has been offered with a deficit ofat least 7 seats. .
In MA programtnes, only 13.7% OC quota has been offered, with an overall deficit ofat least 41 seats. In MA, the huge deficit is concentrated in 3 centres ofSSS ( CESP, CHS, CPS) and SIS (ElL). .
What is evident is that there is significant non-fulfillment ofreserved 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 Hcut off' n1ark in admission process adopted by the JNU administration. This discriminatory policy needs to be .
understood and decisively remedied for once and for all. .
JNU Administration left without any answers .
Once again, in today's meeting, the JNU administration tried to reiterate its old arguments, butwas left with no answer in the face ofhard facts as JNUSU and several other members ofthecommittee forcefully .
pointed out that administration's criterion for deciding the "eligibility" ofOBC candidates availing reserva-tion is highly discriminatory. In particular, the arbitrary fixing ofthe "cut-off' mark for the OBC category student an the basis ofa 10 mark difference from the ~~marks oflast selectedgeneral category candidate, violates in letter and in spirit the criterion prescribed by both the MHRD directive ofApril20, 2008 and the Supreme Court order. JNUSU holds that both these documents leave no space for ambiguity in interpretation and cannot be .
adapted by the ~dministration to suitits whims and fancies. The statement ofJustices Pasayat and Thakkar clearly outlines that the "cut-off' for the general category is ~~the minimum eligibilityfzxedforgeneral categories ofstudents. ., ~lso, this n1ark n1ust be fixed by thp institution in ad~ance. It is fr~m this pre-fixed minimum eligibility mark~jhr general category student that OBC students should begtven a relaxation ofmaximwn ofI0 marks to fill the OBC seats .

JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY STUDENTS' UNION .
AT 555-1, 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 committee to look info the demana of strengthening and democratizing the Equal Opportunity.
Office in our campus. This committee has Prof C PBhambri, Prof Gopal Guru and Prof Tulsi Ram as its members. TheJNUSU 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 fir BA/MA students. the administration was madeto concede this demand as well. JNUSU appeals to all the democratic progressive seetiens 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 i~ a major victory for the students' movement in our campus there are many issues on whichthere 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 insensitive 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 theM Phil and PhD students, increasing the MCM of BA/MA students to 1500 and recognizingAlimiyat-Fazilar certificates for admissions to B/1. 1st year do not even feature in the agenda of today's AcademicCouncil Meeting is o clear manifestation of this fact. The JNUSU wiiJ also oppose any proposal of the administrationto implement the process of 27% OBC reservation In our university In a staggered fashlor.. Since the last one yearwe 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 thisregard would not be acceptable to the student community. The JNUSU would go and raise its protest against thisanti-student behavior of the administration in todoy's AC meeting. We are also giving an appeal to all the ACmembers to rally them behind the genuine demar.ds cf the student community and bufld pressure on the.
administration for conceding to our demands..
The JNUSU demands that the following demands must be discussed and g_micably resolved in today.
meeting: 's AC .
Evolve a proper blueprint to implement 27% OBC reservation and 54% seat mcrease from the nexi academic.
SeSSIOn. .
.
Immediately start the Rs 3000 and Rs·5000 UGC fellowships for all research scholars who are not getting anyassistance now. Formulate the promised committee to implement the full package of financial assistance demanded by last.

The JNUSU appeals to the student community to participate in large numbers in a protest demonstration in fr~nt.
the AC meeting and give a strong message to the university administration that we will not tolerate any dilly.
dallying 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 JNUSU'scharter has not been submitted to the administration till now. In the past also such irresponsible and non seriousattitude of the JNUSU Gen Secy has taken a toll on the effective functioning of the JNUSU at the cost of studentIssues. We appeal to the JNUSU Gen Secy to give the Charter as soon as possible so that it can be submitted to the.
JNU administration..

../ Steps for Academic Rejuvenation: JNUSU. or~anised school-level brainsto~ming sessio~s with ~tudents.and faculty towards a broad academic rejuvenation 1n JNU. Before the BoS meetmgs, these bra1nstorm1ng sess1ons created a platform where common students (not just. electe.d representat!ves) and faculty members could discuss serious academic issues in a transparent, non-h1erarch1cal, democratic manner. A broad consensus was built on various issues like the need to introduce new courses, reasons for high drop-out r:ates, and the need to democratise the classroom atmosphere. As a result, when JNUSU Councillors brought up these issues in the BoS meetings, they were supported by large number of faculty members, who saw merit in the . students' arguments and demands. As a consequence, several new courses are in the process of being introduced. .
../ Vigilance in the Admission process: As a result of JNUSU's timely interventions, the JNU administration released second lists this year, in order to fulfill reservations and the intake mandated by JNU's Academic Council. .
../ Fighting Administrative High-handedness: JNUSU also repeatedly intervened and protested against the authoritarian behavior of various hostel wardens in Yamuna, Koyna and Shipra and in a united struggle with the residents of Yamuna forced the removal of the Yamuna hostel warden . .
../ Ensuring workers' rights: From 2006 onwards, the JNUSU has been consistently fighting for workers' rights in the campus. During this tenure too, time and again JNUSU had to intervene to ensure a variety of demands. 16 safai karamcharis working with Garima were terminated by the administration; JNUSU immediately intervened and ensured that all of them were taken back. Moreover, JNUSU had to repeatedly intervene to ensure that arrears due to workers (from salary increments announced in April 2011 and November 2011) were paid to them. Contractors had been dilly-dallying these payments for months together, and JNUSU finally managed to ensure workers' arrears only a couple of months back. JNUSU has also raised the ·issue of legally mandated .
ESl/PF payments for all workers employed in JNU. .
For Better Infrastructure And facilities .
../ Improved library facilities: The JNUSU has been taking several initiatives to improve the JNU library and make it student friendly. Since the last four years there have been many urgent pending issues like purchasing of books, transparency and accountability in the purchase of books, improving infrastructure, upgrading and expanding the Helen Keller unit and the cyber library. The student community will remember that during the tenure of the previous Librarian the library witnessed saw huge pilferage and misuse of funds for the purchase of books which were neither recommended by the students nor the teachers. .
Keeping in mind these issues the JNUSU had organized an 'Open House' on 18th April, 2012. At the open house organised by JNUSU to discuss problems regarding the library, students directly raised several issues which were noted by the librarian, and this became a platform to articulate and build pressure for our demands. Following JNUSU's interventions, some of the issues on which the library has already started work are as follows: .
.
Purchase of Books: Due to the huge pilferage and misuse of funds in the purchasing of books the library had virtually stopped purchasing books for the last three years. One of the major demands of the JNUSU regarding the library has been the purchasing of_-books. The LAC has approved the purchasing of almost 3700 new books w orth 1.4 Crores. Some School/Centres had recommended very few books to be purchased by the library, JNUSU actively pursued concerned authorities in variouS-£choQis/Centres to ensure that all required books are recommended by them . .
.
.
Renovation of Library: The library didn't spend the funds allocated to it for renovation under the 11th Plan. It has now been decided that this money amounting to 72 lakhs will be used immediately for the renovations. JNUSU demanded that special care should be given to expand student facilities and make the library PHNH student friendly. .

On Struggle Against Stalling Of UGC Fellowship When in ov 2007, JNUSU took the unprecedented move ofrn'h' lizing students from Central Universities across the country against stalling of the UGC Rs. 3000-5000 fellowship, an111rE five members from SFI turned up at the UGC demo.

On OBC Reservation When JNUSU launched an agitation on Ambedkar Jayanti (14 April) on the issue of madmsa certificates, OBC reservations and PH students' rights, SFI registered the merest token of participation -on at least'HH= occasion not even bothering to send a single representative! Instead, they issued a leaflet asking why JNUSU had included implementation ofOBC quota as a key agenda of the agitation when it was, in fact, a fait accompli. l'w from being a smooth path and a non-issue as claimed by SFI,·i~lementation of OBC quota threw up challenges ate\I?I~ .

When the report was ready, SFI finally broktl its · silence-only to throw a spanner in the works by claiming the report was not complete-thus bolstering those fo1 res in the Admin who tried to stall the process by saying that madarsa certificates should be recognized only when all 13, 1100 madarsas in the country were first surveyed!

a1sa 18 March AC Meeting: Ensure Social Justice! .
16.3.11 Demand Administrative Accountability !! .
JNU Academ'ic Council (AC) will be meeting after one whole year on March 18th (coming Friday). For the past few .
's democratic decision-making process as wellyears, the entire JNU community has witnessed a gross breakdown of JNU.
s credibility as a public institution upholding certain basic ethical and democratic values. The.
as a visible decline of JNU'.
manner in which the JNU administration has been scuttling the proper implementation of the legally mandated OBC reser-.
.
vations in JNU in a shameful display of institutionalised casteism is a prime example of this phenomenon. The upcoming AC .
.
meeting is therefore crucial -it is high time that those people responsible for JNU's loss of credibility, and for scuttling of .
social justice in this institytion known for its democratic credentials, are held accountable. .
.
What exactly is at stake? Over the past three years, more than 400 OBC students have been denied admission in JNU for NO fault of 's faulty admission process. 277 students were denied admission last year alone..
theirs, but simply because of JNUWho is responsible lor this criminal injustice? .
Since 2008, JNUSU, the student community, and several faculty members have been demanding a change in JNU's .
faulty cut-off criteria. When the administration went to the extent of even subverting an AC decision in its single-minded agenda to scuttle OBC reservations, the victimized students were forced to approach the Delhi High Court for justice. The .
DeJhi High Court {HC). in its 7tb September judgment, had REJECTED JNU's admission policy on OBC reservations. .
Instead of implementing the HC verdict in JNU, and moving towards correcting JNU's policy, the JNU administration shockjngly chose to challenge this verdict in the High Court and filed a REVIEW PETITION in the Delhi HC against the 71~ September verdict. Subsequently, on December 23rd 2010, the HC once again upheld its ?ttl September verdict and dis-missed JNU's review petition. This raises certain very important questions: };:-JNU, despite being a public funded institution is behaving like a private individual litigant, challenging an existing law which it is legally bound to accept and implement. .
;... The JNU administration decided to independently and unilaterally move the HC to challenge the 7th September verdict without the mandate of any university body. Clearly, neither the Deans Committee, the Standing Committee on Admissions, JNU Academic Council or any other statutory decision-making body has been consulted on this issue. This is a highly dangerous trend, with far-reaching repercussions for JNU's transparent and democratic decision-.
making process. ;,;.. JNU administratio.n is fighting all these legal cases to SCUTTLE OBC reservation by SPENDING PUBLJC FUNDS. In other words, a central university is not just overruling its own decision-making bodies, it is subsequently trying to justify its unilateral policies by spending public funds! Why should funds meant for the development of the university be spent to defend an administration's ideological predilections? Can any administration be allowed a free hand to misuse public funds in this manner? .
Time and again, JNU's admission policy has been held to be illegal in the court of law (first in the 7th September .
~ .
judgment, and again on 23'd December 201 0). In these cases, the court held that JNU should offer admission to the litigant students. And still JNU refuses to offer admission to all the victimized students! Should a central university create such an unprecedented situation wherein every student eligible for admission is forced to move the courts, fight a long legal battle, and prove once more that JNU is legally in the wrong? .
Justice must prevail for all students, not just for those who are able to fight long and expensive cases in the court. It is the responsiblity and duty of public institutions to change their faulty policies-and not wait for each and every victim to force them individually to deliver justice.:. 's typical casteist mindset to.
There is another critical issue at stake, which too reflects JNU administrationscuttle fulfilment of OBC seats. The JNU administration is trying is set a low quantum of relaxation viz. the qualifying/cut-off marks fixed for MPhil/ PhD are 40 for general and 35 OBC students and for BAIMA, it is 30 for general and 27 for OBC studel}ts. This is arbitrary and once again violative of the Supreme Court directives, which categorically states that a maximum relaxation of 10 °/o -which is 10 marks in an evaluation of 100 marks-should be provided to fill all the OBC seats. .
Recognition for More Madarsas: When madarsa certificates were first recognized in the 30 April 2008 AC meeting, it was decided that recognition would gradually be expanded to include new madarsas too. This has not yet happened. The .
com.ing AC, as per the decision of the 30 April. 2008 AC meeting, must expedite the process of recognition of more .
madarsas across the country. .
At the upcoming AC meeting on March 18th 2011 , these issues have to be addressed if JNU's democratic .
credentials and commitment to social inclusion are to be defended. Apart from offering admission to all the victimised students, and setting the correct cut-off criteria (in keeping with the 7th Sep HC verdict), the quantum of cut-off should also .
be correctly assigned. .
In an All Organisation Meeting called by AISA last night, it was decided that a joint PUBLIC MEET1NG on all these .
issues will be held on 17 March and a united. Protest Demonstration will be held in front of the AC Meeting on 18 March. A/SA appeals to the s_tudent commumty to ~tr~ngth~n t~e ongoing struggle to ensure proper implementation of .

Weightage for Viva-Voce: .
.
VJere being given abysmally low marks in the viva,despite the fact that they had scored high mar1<s in the written examination The hrgh weightage For several years, the JNU administration has been allocating aweightage of30% for interviews in the admission process. Notonly is this illegal, it also leaves ample scope fordiscrimination.ln the past, students have indicated several instances where candidates from deprived backgrounds for viva marks leaves the door open for subjective b1ases (of various kinds) of the evaluators to unduly rnfluence the final results. Therefore, 1t 1s urgentthat in the interests of ensuring objectivity and impartiality, and reducing the evident subjective and ideological biases of the evaluators, the weightage ofviva marl<s be reduced from next year.AISAhas been repeatedly raising the issue and submitted adetailed tactual note to the Standing .

admission. However, since seats are limited, some students of both categories may not get admission. Until such t1me as .
the seats are fulfilled, the university must go down to the benchmark (cut-off] for f>roviding admission. .
But shockingly, the system that is being followed by JNU in clear contravention of these crite.ria is proceeding .
.
as fol.lows: In a particular course: JNU has a base mark (which it erroneously interprets as "eligibility" and not "cut-off' wh1ch the Act requires) for unreserved candidates (40 marks) and 30 marks for SC/ST candidates and prepares a respect1ve merit tists It is still not clear what JNU considers as the·base mark (or what it erroneously interprets as "eligibility")J ar-OBC candidates. .
The merit list begins with the person who has scored the highest marks. .
Supposing, the highest mark in the merit list is 90. then the merit list will proceed until the seats in the general .
category are filled . .
Let us say that the last marl< on which the general seats are filled is 70 marks. .
JNU then declares this 70 (the last mark on wh1ch the general seats are filled) as the "cut-off'' for the general category/unreserved candidates. It then gives a 10 marks relaxation to define the "cut-off" for the OBC candidates. (All OBC students who achieve marks between 90 and 70 are absorbed in the general category) .
The university is arguing that that the stipulated OBC quota (12% this year) has to be filled by those students who get marks between 70 and 60. This is absurd logic, and is an ideal recipe for not filling the OBC quota. .
If the OBC quota is not fulfilled by incorporating all students who receive between 70 and 60 marks, then the university argues that, as per law, the residual seats. will go to students of the unreserved category. .
The above mechanism is not in ·accordance with the Act and the MHRD Directive, rather it violates the basic definitions of categories and very direction and spirit of the Act. As a consequence. 1t is also creat1ng a serious discrepancy in the admission process. .
This situation has arisen because of JNU's faulty definition of "cut-off". "Cut off', Which IS a policy. parameter and must specified in advance based on university's own standard of excellence, has been wrongly eguated With "merit", which is a post-factum outcome variable depending on the competitive performance of unreserved category students (crossing the cut-o.ff) and the number of seats in a pa1iicular course. Thus as per the Act, when relaxation should be provided on the "cut-off' for the unreserved category (ie the pre-determined pol1cy figure of 40). JNU is providing on "merit' (1e. say 70 ) of the unreserved category. .
This basic mistake leads to. a more fundamental problem whereby the opportunity granted by the Constitution for the reserved category gets tied to the fluctuating. p.erform.ance ofunreserved category rather than specified in advance based on universijy's own standard of excellence. · · .
What this process also does·is·instead of filling OBC.rescrvation, it provides more seats to the general category while creating the possibility of leaving the OBC seats permanently unfulfilled. .
In the current process the required percentage of OBC seats is not fulfilled only because it does nQt treat an OBC student·independently on the standard of the university and the remaining seat may go to that unreserved candidate who has equal or lesser marks to a candidate selected in OBC category. It must be noted that candidates whether unreserved/OBC/SC/ST must be evaluated on the standards of the institution reflected in its pre-determined "cut-off', and not on the performance of any particular category ci;lndidates, which is a clear violation of the directive.. .
JNUSU condemns the gross tampering with rules that.the administration has indulged·in. JNUSU ·demands·.... that JNU must reverse its biased and illegal interpretation of the law and the "cut-off" criterion in the current admission process and immediately fulfil the stipulated OBC quota for 2008. .
When the REAL debate, and the real danger is here, attention is being diverted from this crucial issue by certain organisations. They are busy slandering the JNUSU by peddling misleading data, spreading immense confusion regarding a totally imagined ·seat cut, and constantly changing their demands. This belies a complete lack of interest and seriousness in properly implementing OBC reservations and other concrete anomalies prevailing in the process. .
The administration has to be forced to correctly interpret the law and fulfil the legally mandated seat increase. What is happening right now is a gross violation of the law of the land. When the university authorities are not willing to admit this, JNUSU will intensify the agitation and fight at every forum against these casteist attempts to curtail reservation. .
In the light of this attitude of the JNU administration, JNUSU will hold a Protest Demonstration at UGC too as the JNU admi~istration. ca~no~ be allowed. to have their casteist and erroneous ways jeopardising the provisions of constitutionally enshnned soc1al JUStice and cont1nue other gross anomalies in admissions.

OPEN VIOLATION OF AN ORDER OF A CONSTIUTIONAL BENCH! .

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 QUALIFIER, VIVA BECOMES THE REAL JUDGE ! .
The idea of having two components to the admission process is that they judge different kinds of skills and SHOULD BE TAKEN TOGETHER. .
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.) .

Bring out a Waiting List for MA Urdu Programme!! .
Unite to ensure the socially sensitive character of our Admission Process!! .
.
Friends, 16/07/08 .
The Admissions Branch has brought out the lists of selected candidates for the entrance examination to the various MA programmes of our university, some days back. This year, along with the original list of selected candidates, a waiting list of other candidates has also been published for all MA programmes. However, such a waiting list was not found in the case of MA Urdu. In this regard the JNUSU-SLL&CS intervened and took up the matter with the Admissions Branch, whereupon he informed the councillors that the candidates had not cleared the required minimum cut-off marks for such a Waiting List. But keeping in consideration the unique admission process of our university which strives to accommodate a wide section of students coming from diverse backgrounds, JNUSU-SLL&CS believes .
that steps should be taken in this direction to correct such a situation at the earliest. This issue was raised by the councillors with Chairperson of the Centre for Indian Languages (CIL) and some other faculty members of the centre who have assured that a Waiting List would be published soon, whereby there would be a lowering of the Cut-Off Marks. .
The aim of the admission process of our university has to be to ensure that the socially sensitive character is maintained, thus making our academics much more accessible to all sections of people. JNUSU has always strived to realize this aim and hence believes that this Waiting List at the earliest. We appeal to the students of SLL&CS to rally behind JNUSU-SLL&CS in the coming days to make sure that all the genuine students' demands are fulfilled. .

know that it is student pressure, mobilization, and our sound logic that has forced you to attempt to put on a clock of being pro-poor. However, you cannot fool us with your face-saving tactics: it is shameful that the VC of a so-called progressive institution like JNU, and that too an economist, should insult not just our concerns for social justice and a democratic ethos, but also the poverty of the millions of Indians for whom life is a daily fight for survival. .
The waiver that the JNU administration has announced will mean nothing for children from BPL families, because they are simply nowhere in the range of even dreaming of higher education. The BPL waiver simply cannot compensate or counterbalance the damage that the increased prospectus fees have inflicted. Firstly, the fees hike has damaged the basic ethical premise that universities or admission processes cannot be run like commercial and profiteering ventures. Secondly, through higher prices, it has discouraged and actually squeezed out those in the social ladder who are struggling against odds to begin to equip themselves with an education, and aspire to come for higher education. We would like to ask our VC: how does he hope to address these two concerns with his proposal? We would also like to remind the VC and his team that we have also not forgotten the crores of money that has been grossly misused by the current administration, whose hallmark has become crass commercialization, undemocratic decision-making, and unwarranted and uncalled-for expenditure. If the administration lives under the illusion that it will be able to continue to generate crores of funds in the name of students, and not utilize it for basic needs of the student community like hostels, fellowships or the health centre, we will happily and decisively break this illusion. We will collectively show the JNU administration that they have not seen the end of the student mobilization; they have rather just begun to taste it. We will not rest till each unnecessary expense and each dubious deal is exposed, and till the administration is forced to spend our funds where they are really needed. There is no space for cynicism or tiredness in the student movement, and we have to prepare ourselves for a long and protracted battle. .

their own hands. Protest organizers have not only seen the ranks of students grow, but also that their political leadership pushes older workers to come out and fight alongside them. Because the sites of current student revolt are often in countries with a history of strikes and demonstrations by labor unions and left-wing political groups, students fight in the tradition of workers before them. .
Given this situation where the powers-that-be seem hell-bent on selling out our education system, and on denying the basic right to employment, it is high time the students and youth of the country come out on the streets to strengthen the struggle for their rights to education and employment and for an end to corruption. All India Students Association (AISA) and Revolutionary Youth Association (RYA) have drawn up a Charter of Student-Youth Campaign for Employment-Education and Democracy to mobilise students and youths for a country-wide struggle. .
STUDENT-YOUTH CHARTER OF RIGHTS RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT CHARTER .
1. .
Employment with dignity should be given the status of a fundamental right by the Central government. Make an Employment Guarantee Scheme for urban areas. .
.
2. .
Unemployed youths above the age of 25 should be given respectable unemployment allowances by every State government. .
.
3. .
All workers under contractual or honorary basis should be immediately regularized as permanent workers. Make Commissions and Boards formed for giving employment regular and transparent. Fill vacant posts immediately. .
.
.
.
RIGHT TO EDUCATION CHARTER .
1. .
Scrap the current Right to Education law which denies the principle of right to basic education and encourages the privatization and commercialization of education. Bring a new Right to Education bill based on common school system! .
.
2. .
Immediately repeal the Private Universities Bill, Foreign Universities Bill along with all the bills proposed in Parliament by the MHRD, which clear the way for privatization of education and corporate loot. Repeal the recommendations of the Lyngdoh Commission, which are against the principles of democracy and conduct Students Union elections according to democratic procedures on all campuses. .
.
3. .
Make laws at Centre and State levels to regulate and monitor the exorbitant fees structures, admission processes, evaluation processes and administration of all primary to higher educational private and semi-government institutions. Guarantee the implementation of reservation in educational institutions so that all deprived sections of society are represented, ensure democracy, transparency and removal of all discrimination! .
.

DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS CHARTER AGAINST CORRUPTION AND CORPORATE LOOT .
1. Scrap the government Lokpal draft. Pass an effective Jan Lokpal Bill which brings the army, judiciary, NGOs, PM, MPs and ministers in its ambit. Make the structure of the .

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 .

.
first filled. Subsequently, the marks scored in the entrance examination by the last general category student selected is declared as the "cut-off" for the general category. OBC students are then given a relaxation of 10 marks from the mark of the last general category student. For example, if in a particular stream, if there are 10 general category seats and the 10th student gets 67 marks in the entrance test, OBC students scoring below 57 marks will not be admitted by JNU. The entire OBC quota of 27% thus has to be filled within this 10 marks margin (i.e. 57-67). .
This is a clear violation of the MHRD directives on at least three counts: .
1. .
In JNU, cut-off marks are not decided "well in advance". .
.
2. .
It is fluctuating from discipline to discipline and year to year based on the empirical performance of different batches of general category students rather than on the university's own standards of education. .
.
3. .
It is unfairly tying the fate of OBC candidates to the fluctuating performance of general category students rather than the university's own standards of education. .
.
.
As a result of these violations of the MHRD directives, the pool of eligible OBC candidates available for admission is drastically reduced. The result is that OBC quota in JNU is going unfulfilled on a large scale on the plea that there are "no eligible candidates". .
This faulty interpretation of the term "cut-off" and the consequent pretext of "non-availability" of "eligible" OBC candidates demands an immediate course correction. Or else, this very important provision of social justice will remain a mockery even in an institution like JNU which is known for its social commitments. .
.
The Correct Method .
The Supreme Court specifies that a maximum relaxation upto 10 marks from the general category cut-off be given to the OBC candidates so as to fulfill 27% reservation. In JNU, there already exists the rule that 40 (out of 100) is the last mark below which no general category student will be admitted. That is, 40 is the general category qualifying mark for admission in JNU. Also, the existing qualifying mark for SC/ST candidates is 30. .
We are of the opinion that: relaxation of maximum of 10 marks for OBC students, as stipulated by Hon'ble Supreme Court, must start from 40-the qualifying marks for the General Category-and relaxation should go down to maximum of 10 marks till 27% OBC seats are filled. It is possible that all the seats may get filled even before the 10 marks limit is reached. This method will satisfy both the concerns of the Supreme Court and the MHRD directives. There is no question of compromise with quality, as JNU is already ready in principle to admit students from General Category even at 40 marks if seats are available. .
So, it is imperative that JNU stops the misinterpretation of the concept of general category cut-off and implements the correct procedure. It is only with such a procedure can 27% OBC seats can be filled and that should be the objective of the admission process which is sensitive to take care of the concerns of social justice. Clarificatory instructions should be issued to all concerned institutions including JNU to correct their admissions process and ensure 27% OBC reservation. .

The obvious explanation is that the interview board is using this bimodal marks distribution to select or reject candidates based on viva-voce alone. .

Black Paper on Education in West Bengal 2014 Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarth... jnuabvp.blogspot.fr/ .
Tol Education .
.
Tols or Chatuspathis, which impart traditional Sanskritic learning, is an important part of our heritage and once upon a time Bengal used to be famous for its Tols and the learning imparted there. Now, suffering from systematic neglect especially for the three and a half decades of Left rule in the state, they are dwindling and need urgent revival. There are still about 700 plus Tols in the state, but unfortunately, the state government pays only the DA to the Tol teachers and not their salary. For the last three decades, there has been no new recruitment to the sanctioned posts of pundits in the Tols. Most of them are at present being run only by government-nominated ad hoc committees and not by full-fledged committees. The annual examinations for the Tols supposed to be conducted by the state government at three levels, has been stopped for the past five years. The last examination was conducted only in 2007. The Convocation which is supposed to be held regularly is also not being held. There is provision for scholarships for meritorious students of the Tols from the state government but these scholarships are not being given and there is no accountability of the money involved either. There is no provision for adequate recognition of the degrees awarded by the Tols after the state-level exams and no vision for employment or higher education facilities for the pass-outs of these traditional and historic institutions. Their degrees are not being recognized as equivalent to the general degrees and are not recognized even in the Employment Exchanges. There are 4 government run Tols in the state out of the 4, the Tol at Sanskrit College, Kolkata has at present only 3 teachers out of a sanctioned strength of 21, the Tol at Cooch Behar Sanskrit College and Nabadwip Sanskrit College has been stopped and their campuses taken over by anti-social elements. The campus of the historic Nabadwip Sanskrit College is alleged to be sold to promoters. Only the Tol at Kanthi Sanskrit College is is a somewhat running condition. We demand that this state of affairs be rectified immediately. Adequate recruitment be conducted in all the 700 plus Tols of the state and the 4 historical government Tols be revived as institutions of excellence. Degrees of Tols be recognized as equivalent to the general degrees and the government take immediate steps to revive the Sanskrit learning, which was the fame of Bengal once upon a time. .

Challenge the Systematic Dilly-Dallying and Delay on part of the UPA Government in Im-.

.
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.

AISA Will Not Compromise on People's 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 Nan-.
digram, we have seen time and again that the initiatives and stances of SFI's representatives in JNUSU are.
constrained by the compulsions of defending Governments either run by or supported by their parent party.
CPI(M). On the issue of Nithari killings, for instance, they avoided targeting the Mulayam Administration, (a.
close ally of the CPI(M))..
.
The campus has not forgotten how during Manmohan Singh's visit to JNU, SFI's JNUSU office bearers.
refused to stand by students who protested, and even refused to include a demand to scrap the Patents Amend-.
ment Act and AFSPA in the coy `memorandum' to the PM drafted by them! Rather, their compulsion to defend.
CPI (M)'s ally Manmohan made them go to the extent of boycotting the JNUSU President who defended the.
students who protested against the PM's visit..
.
AISA office bearers in JNUSU refuse to be constrained by such unprincipled and calculated political com-.
promises, and will stand by the uncompromising people's struggles, no matter which Government is the target..
We have no objections to initiatives by JNUSU office bearers. But deliberate concealment of information about.
meetings called by JNU Administration, and deliberate statement of lies by SFI's JNUSU office bearers claim-.
ing that they had in fact passed on the information to the General Secretary when they had not done so - such.
unscrupulous acts cannot be tolerated!.

5th October, 2012 .
Friends, .
On the 30th of October the Academic Council of the university is going to meet to make important academic and financial decisions for the upcoming academic year. The meeting is held in two parts Part I where academic decisions are made and Part II where decisions regarding the financial matters are made. Though student representation is restricted to part one, the SFI-JNU believes that serious interventions need to be made in both parts of the meeting to raise the following issues which are of utmost importance to the academic life of JNU students and to protect the socially inclusive character of the university. .
Reduction in the weightage of Viva-Voce marks: .
JNU prides itself on being open to students from all sections of society and especially to students from the socially and educationally deprived sections. Therefore, it is unfortunate that JNU allots a weightage of 30% to the viva voce marks in the entrance examination. As we are all aware, admission to most centres in JNU is based on two components a written examination and a viva. There is a 70% weightage to the marks in the written exam and a 30% weightage to marks in the viva. The 30% weightage to the viva marks is in contravention to a Supreme Court verdict in November 1980 (Ajay Hasia Etc vs Khalid Mujib Sehravardi & Ors. Etc, 13 November, 1980) where a 5 Judge Constitutional Bench found that .
the allocation of more than 15% of the total marks for the oral interview would be arbitrary and unreasonable andwould be liable to be struck down as constitutionally invalid. .
In fact, in another case in the Supreme Court (Ashok Kumar Yadav & Others vs State of Haryana and Others, 1985) a 4 Judge Bench found that even 22.22% marks of the total marks allocated for the viva voce test was infecting the selection process with the vice of arbitrariness. .
Besides, in various centres in JNU, a larger percentage of students are getting either very high or very low marks in the viva voce examination which shows that the viva marks are being used to swing a students chances of getting into the University. .
.
In CPS for instance, as of 2011, maximum students have got either very high or very low marks in the viva voce with 50 students getting low scores between 0-12, 20 students getting high scores between 21-30 and as a contrast, only 9 students getting moderate scores of 13-20. .
.
.
There was a similar trend in ZHCES with 47 students getting the lower scores of 0-12, 12 students getting higher scores between 21-30 and as a contrast only 9 students getting moderate scores between 13-20. .

This kind of tendency shows that the viva voce is being used to subvert the written examination as a way to make sure that a particular student is taken in or that a particular student is not taken in and in that, it has a discriminatory potential and brings in an element of arbitrariness to the admission process. .
Since the last meeting of the Academic Council, the student community has held firmly to its position that the current weightage to the viva voce is discriminatory and that it should be reduced. From a recent report filed by a Committee formed by the Administration to look into whether this weightage is discriminatory, we find that while the marks in the written examination of General and OBC candidates are considerably close, on average, there is a substantial difference between the marks in the viva voce examination of General and OBC candidates. The Casteist forces like the Youth for Equality have held that measures can be taken to ensure that the name of the candidate does not appear on the form etc. However, this is an incorrect understanding of discrimination. Discrimination is not only the deliberate exclusion of students from particular social groups, but also the systemic weeding out of students of socially and educationally deprived sections precisely because of the disadvantages of belonging to these sections whether it is lower confidence in the ability to articulate in English while the written examinations can also be written in Hindi or other such factors. Therefore, the arbitrary weightage to the viva voce marks should be reduced immediately. .
