For example the candidate (#7) who got 5 in the written and 30 in theinterview is chosen and so is the candidate (#49) who got 59 in thewritten and 3 in the interview.A judicial choice of the cut-offs will be required in view of the number ofseats available. Further specifications will be required to generate the'waiting list'. For example, one could lower the cut-offs both in writtenand oral by 10% to generate a waiting Iist. .

C. EXPANDING THE ROLE OF THE EQUALOPPORTUNITIES OFFICE .

5. University structures need to be reconfigured to accommodate differently-abled .

students in the admission process and beyond. The Equal Opportunities Office must .

be the body that attends to the needs of such students both during admission and afterwards. .

a. For hearing-impaired students, Indian Sign Language interpretation services .

have to be made available, starting from the entrance examination process .

itself. .

b. Visually handicapped candidates must be provided examination papers set in .

Braille, rather than the practice of all owing for writers, as frequently this .

practice occludes the candidate's own abilities. A Braille literacy programme .

should also be instituted. .

c. The University must also set up a fully equipped CentrE for Braille .

transliteration and lSL services, which must i elude the audio\video taping of .

all classes so that course material is accessible to all students. .

JNU prides itself on a progressive admissions policy and social justice. .

But this progressive admissions policy is being subverted in many ways. .

OBC reservations were scuttled for 3 years costing 400 students their futures! .

Now, across centres and categories, viva-voce marks are being used to exclude .

and discriminate. .

.

OPEN VIOLATION OF AN ORDER OF A CONSTIUTIONAL 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 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.) .

.

(B) .

Show average or less performance in the written, but very high marks in the viva. .

Students Vigilance Forces JNU Administration To bring Out Second List .

Immediately after the M.Phil. results were declared, JNUSU pointed out the non-fulfilment of legally mandated reservations in several centres. After the JNUSU's protest on 27 July and persistent intervention, the administration has released the 2nd list for M.Phil admissions last night. The process of bringing out an additional list for unfilled seats in B.A./M.A. is also underway. .

JNUSU has provided several suggestions for fulfilling reserved category seats and we have been communicated that many of these suggestions have been implemented towards making this additional list. .

However, the high weightage of viva marks remains a crucial structural block, whereby lot of students from deprived background continue to be awarded low marks and denied admission on the plea of 'non-fulfilment' of eligibilty criteria. So reduction of weightage of viva-marks remains an important are of struggle. Right now, JNUSU is engaged in a difficult battle to remove this structural obstacle that has remained embedded in JNU's admission system for years now. We have already informed the student community about the debates and latest developments of the 1 Aug Viva-Marks Committee meeting. JNUSU is committed to carry forward the struggle for reduction of weightage of viva-marks to its logical conclusion. .

We appeal to the student community to rebuff all administrative machinations and other attempts to disrupt students unity and also to strengthen the JNUSUs efforts in the protracted struggle to ensure social justice and students rights in the JNU admission process. .

Yamuna Hostel: Following Student Protests Administration to Withhold .

Several Anti-Student Decisions ! .

.

In the last meeting of the Yamuna Hostel management committee, several anti-student decisions were taken. It may be noted that despite several protests and letters sent to the administration demanding Yamuna hostel residents representation in the meeting, the meeting took place without any student representation. This undemocratic meeting made a range of anti-student decisions. There were proposals to hike the fee for the Yamuna residents as well as plans to restrict the hostel only for the students who are either working or have JRF/SRF. It was also decided that M. Phil.-Ph.D. research scholars who receive only Rs.5000/-or 8000/-fellowship per month would no longer be allotted Yamuna. .

Since this meeting was held, JNUSU has been persistently taking up the issue with the administration and last week on 27 July, a protest demo was also held regarding the same. .

After a determined intervention and rounds of negotiations by the JNUSU, the administration has communicated that the proposed fee hike has been withheld for now. In addition, the resident research scholars receiving only non-net fellowship of Rs.3000/-or 5000/-per month will be .

For several weeks, the SFI-YFE-DSU-PSU-NSUI whipped up false propaganda with false facts and figures claiming that there had been a massive seat-cut. In fact, they went to the extent of jeopardizing implementation of OBC reservations and the entire admission process this year by demanding that JNU use a legally untenable method of calculating the mandated seat increase! .

Their intension and their real target was made clear when during an agitation at the Ad. Block, they shamefully raised slogans of murdabad against the JNUSU President who had then been on indefinite hunger strike for the past five days, instead of against the JNU Administration! But clearly all these fake facts and figures and clamour against the JNUSU has not convinced anybody: at the UGBM on anomalies in this years admissions, the JNU student community rebuffed such moves decisively. The SFI-led DSU were so frustrated at their failure to get their divisive and misleading propaganda endorsed at the UGBM, that they tried to disrupt all further resolutions. .

Reflecting their true motives, they went to the extent of refusing to support even a most rational and accommodative resolution moved by the AISA councillors that called for a united struggle under JNUSU to fight the persisting anomalies in the JNU admissions regarding non-fulfilment of the increased intake, and the OBC/PH/SC/ST quotas. They not only created a prolonged ruckus to stop the resolution from being tabled as the mandate against their divisive ploys stared them in the face, they refused to cooperate during the counting process when the resolution was finally put to vote. .

However, when the UGBM forced the SFI to join a united struggle under JNUSUs leadership, their zeal and enthusiasm and apparent dedication towards implementation of OBC reservation vanished overnight. Not one of the JNUSU councilors from SFI joined the indefinite hunger strike under the united JNUSU banner; SFI did not join the relay hunger strike that was called every day; they made absolutely no attempt to mobilize students. .

At the all-organisation meetings called during the 12-day long indefinite hunger strike, the SFI blamed the JNUSU for not mobilizing the student community. But the fact of the matter is that their own councilors and the SSS convenor, after creating a frenzy about non-existent seat-cuts and running from mess-to-mess and room-to-room with false facts and misleading figures, suddenly vanished from the scene to destinations unknown to the student community! .

The JNUSU has consistently pointed out the real issue at hand, which is the way in which JNU is setting the cut-off marks for OBC students. This is a very serious issue with long-term repercussions for social justice in JNU. If the JNU administration continues with its present formula, the OBC quota will NEVER be filled in JNU. However, neither the SFI, nor its satellites, have understood the centrality of this anomaly. They have remained completely silent on this specific issue, which .

MARCH TO AD-BLOCK! .

JOIN THE DEMONSTRATION AGAINSTIRRESPONSIBLE & .

INSENSITIVE JNU·ADMINISTRATION !! .

.

Friends, .

.

It is unfortunate that JNU-Admn. has been pursuing anti-student policies, consequently the future of a number of students is at stake. While the JNU-Admn. has failed to fulfil centrewlse SC/ST and PH quota, the JNUSU is not ready to buy its argument that eligible candidates were not available. As for example, in EDU/SSS, nine SC/ST students we called for interview but only one ST candidate qualified, leaving a number of seats vacant. Similarly, no PH candidate was offered admission is SAS/SIS even when PH candidates had qualified the written test. While the Admn. shows its inability to fulfil the Centre-wise SC/ST & PH quota on the ground of non-availability of eligible candidates, it declines to publish the marks obtained in the written test and interview terming them to be confidential. It is therefore important to demand for complete transparency in the Admission-Process. It is not understandable as to why the Admn. doesn't find it fit to publish the marks when all the other institutions of repute are doing so. .

A number of students are awaiting registration in SLL & CS as a result of a policy arbitrarily adopted by the Academic Council thereby restricting the option of extra semester to the last years' students of BA (Pass) 1 BA(Hons). The JNUSU demands that required policy changes should be immediately made keeping in view the increasing number of cases which are pending before the Admn. for registration. .

A dalit student of SIS has been kept waiting by the Admn. who has been denied M.Phil degree. A number of time, the JNU-Admn., has given assurance to resolve the problem, but so far nothing has been done. .

Yesterday, the DSW has assured the JNUSU that Mess facility in Mandavi-Mahi Hostel will be started from 151" of August, 2001. The residents of Mandavi-Mahl have decided to postpone their agitation and allow the Admn. to honour its promise. The JNUSU congratulates the residents of Mandavi-Mahi for standing united against the inactivity of the Admn. We warn the Admn. not to back-track from its promise and make the Mess functional in Mandavi-Mahi on the promised date. We also demand that other infrastructural facilities like telephone, furnitures. drinking water etc. should be immediately provided. .

JNUSU calls upon the student community to JOIN THE DEMONSTRATION TOMORROW in support of the following demands :· .

1) Fulfil Centre-wise SC/ST & PH quota. .

2) Immediately resolve all the pending cases of registration In different schools. .

3) Provide infrastructural facilities Including Mess & Water to the residents of Mandavi-Mahi. .

.

4) Stop victimization of a Dallt student In SIS. .

5) Immediately Install computers, .

6) Immediately provide INTERNET facilities. .

THE PROTEST MARCH WILL BEGIN FROM SLL&CS AND CULMINATE AT .

Cut off point is variable from discipline to discipline and is dependent on the number of seats in each programme of studies. The cut off may not be the same as the qualifying marks which is the same across the disciplines .

However, JNUSU has repeatedly argued that this position on cut-off is not on logically faulty but also legally untenable. Where the university is arguing that there is a lack of clarity in the MHRD directive in terms of defining what is meant by cut-off, a further analysis will show there is no such confusion. Para X and XI of the MHRD directive as defined above are crystal clear in their interpretation of cut-off as the basic qualifying mark, and are without ambiguity on the process of implementation of the law. .

A further perusal of the MHRD directive reads: .

4. While the above clarification is in respect of reservation in admission against the seats for the OBCs, CEIs may also bear in mind that there may be a proportionate increase in the seats for the categories of SCs and STs also, where the extant procedure of selection or cut off marks for these categories shall continue to be in force. .

The cut-off marks for SC/ST students equal their basic qualifying marks for admission to the university. This point when read in conjunction with the use of the term cut-off in para X and XI of the MHRD directive quoted above makes it further clear that there is a clear uniformity [and certainly no ambiguity] in MHRDs understanding of cut-off. There is a consistency in the use of the term cut-off throughout the document to be synonymous with the pre-decided qualifying marks commensurate with the academic standard of the institute. .

Other forums and documents also buttress the MHRDs interpretation, and run contrary to JNUs arbitrary and untenable position. Let us look at the statements of the individual judges in the recent Supreme Court judgment on OBC reservation, where the words cut-off and extent of relaxation occur. For example, even the much-quoted Justice Bhandaris statement, while discussing the concept clearly defines cut-offs as admission thresholds [Para 274 of Justice Bhandaris statement]. This only reinforces the definition of cut-off as provided by MHRD, which the university is duty-bound to follow. .

An even more explicit articulation of where to apply the cut-off can be seen in the statement of Justices Pasayat and Thakkar. Para 139 [3] of their statement reads: .

The Central Government shall examine as to the desirability of fixing a cut off marks in respect of the candidates belonging to the Other Backward Classes [OBCs]. By way of illustration it can be indicated that five marks grace can be extended to such candidates below the minimum eligibility marks fixed for general categories of students. This would ensure that quality and merit would not suffer. If any seats remain vacant after adopting such norms they shall be filled up by candidates from general categories. .

Clearly, there is no refuge and space available for the JNU Administration to justify its arbitrary position and interpretation of the cut-off on the basis of any part of the Supreme Court judgment of the statements of individual judges. JNUSU holds that these evidence leave no scope for ambiguity, and demonstrate clearly that the universitys position on defining the cut-off as fluctuating from year to year and based on the performance of general category students of a particular batch, is not only illogical but legally untenable in every way. .

The Clear Illogic Of JNUs Position: An Example .

JNUs mechanism, which is not in accordance with the Act and the MHRD Directive, and violates the basic definitions of categories and very direction and spirit of the Act is also logically incoherent and is creating a serious discrepancy in the admission process. Let us see how this serious discrepancy is built into the faulty definition of cut-off itself, in the following example: .

Manipulations to Deny OBC Rcscrvntions.

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.

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. .

.

Renovation of Dholpur House: The tender for the purchase of new tables and chairs for Dholpur House reading room are in process . .

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 .

OBC reservations and expandmg other steps of soc1al mc!us10n m JNUI.

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 .

Indeed,it must also be noted that the JNU's admission policy on viva-voce is in violation of the verdict of a5-Judge Constitution Bench of the .

CQmmittee on Admissions during its Meeting of28 Sep 2010. .

Itmust be noted thatthe in the Delhi High Courtduring the OBC ucut-Off' Definition case of Sep.2010 I (which was finally ratified in the Supreme Court .

inAug 2011 ), students' petition also included the demand for "reducing the weightage in viva marks" and bringing it in line with the earliercourt .

judgementsofkeeping viva-marks at NOT more than 10%-15% ofthe total evaluation. Given the enormity ofthe "cut-off' controversy,the High Court .

"Seats Offer" does NOT indicate and is NOT equivalent to the actual number of seats and the actual number of students in the University. .

.

.

The "offer" method so far adopted is merely a one-shot measure to fill the intake. .

.

.

So, the SFI's devious method of only projecting "seats offered" as the actual number of seats. and thereby spreading that there is a massive seat-cut is a complete travesty of facts and truth. .

.

.

Will SFI clarify: Can "seats offered" which they are pe ddling, be the basis of implementation of reservation and seat increase that is being initiated this year? .

Let us note that there are two possible methods of fulfilling the "intake". One method practiced so far is the "seats offered" method, whereby some extra seats over and above the "intake" are announced, once and for all, to fulfil the "intake". The other method is to have a waiting list and announce a series of time-bound 2°d/3rd lists from amongst the .

waitlisted candidates, as is being practiced this year (2008). .

It is to be noted that JNUSU strongly stood for the continuation of the "offer system" in the Academic Council .

meeting for fulfilling "intake" compared to the wait list system. However majority of the faculty and centres argued in favour of waitlist and subsequent 2nd/3ra list systems for fulfilling the intake in course of the new admission system for this year when OBC reservation and seat increase was .

to be implemented. But whatever be the debate regarding the method of fulfilling the .

11intake", the crucial issue was the correct implementation of OBC reservations and seat increase in the new admission policy, for .

which " .

intake" of 2006 forms the legal basis for all calculations and NOT "seats offered". .... .

Another big confusion that SFI is indulging in is to equate incomparables : compare .

the "offer" list of last year (2007) with the very first ~'intakeulist of this year (2008). .

S1nce the earl1er method of one-shot "seat offer" method has not been adopted this year. any data on "seats offered" in 2008 will have to include the seats in first list along with all the subsequent (2nd/ 3rd etc) lists announced. For .

example, in CESP (MA), so far in 2008, 97 students have been offered seats (62 in the 1st list and 35 in the 2"d list)towards fulfilling the mandated "intake". Overall in JNU so far, 2102 students have already been offered seats till Saturday afternoon (Aug 2, 2008), and not 1836 which SFI has quoted in its malicious poster campaign. Clearly, even .

if we talk in terms of ~~seats offered11, correct calculation shows that the "seats offered" in 2008 till now is 2102 which is 90 more than the 2007 "seat offer" figure of 2012. More lists are awaited as the admission process is still in progress. Such motivated spread of confusion with numbers must be condemned. The Real Dangers Of Such Motivated Mischief .

While politicking might have inspired SFI to indulge in such games. it has real dangers. Firstly, implementation of legally mandated reservation and concomitant seat increase demands that all calculations must be done on the basis of intake (base year 2006) and .

not on the ever fluctuating numbers of seats offered. So, to interpret this year'sadmission process which .

has undertaken OBC reservation on the basis of "seats offered", as SFI is mischievously doing, is legally untenable and has real danger of inviting legal impediments from the anti-reservation forces. .

Secondly, to wrongly project some bloated figures as the actual seats in JNU is to fuel those anti-reservation forces in the campus who from the very beginning wanted to block and delay the implementation of the OBC reservation and the seat increase on the spurious plea tt1at it will make the .

system "too big and thus unmanageable''. SFI byundertaking these unethical moves, by quoting untenable figures is trying to fan a frenzy that can actually act againstthe proper and speedy implementation of the reservation in JNU .

They are also helping to deflect attention from the real problems at hand that administration is putting time and again to scuttle the actual implementation of OBC reservation pertaining to correct application of relaxed eligibility criterion for OBC students. Interestingly, SFI is conspicuous by its total and calculated silence on this casteist elitist ploy of the administrations. This calculated silence, however, speaks volumes of their real .

motives. .

We would also like to inform the student community that the ploy of the JNU administration to scuttle PH reservations has been successfully rebuffed. An additional list of 31 PH students has been released on August 2, 2008. However, the discrepancy on OBC reservations regarding the relaxation in the eligibility criterion is yet to be resolved. .

We call upon the JNU student community to rally behind JNUSU in ensuring proper implementation of OBC reservations, and stand up against JNU administration's casteist attempts to dilute the potential of OBC reservations and at the same time to foil all other devious methods to deflect attention .

from the real challenges at hand. .

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. JNUSU appeals to the student community to join in a protest demonstration tomorrow (131h August, 2008) at 2.30 pm at the UGC. Assemble at the Ad Block .

at 1.30 pm for the buses. .

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. .
