Uproar Stirs at SRCC After the College Fails to Act Against Student Who Assaulted a Teacher

By

On Saturday, more than 100 students from Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) decided to hold a sit-in protest against the inaction of the authorities. The contention was regarding the assault of a professor by a student of the same college, with the student getting support from the faculty and the alumni. The professor, Ashwani Kumar, was assaulted by a Global Business Operations student on July 14th, allegedly over the issue of low marks assigned to him by the professor. A FIR was lodged against the accused, Pradeep Phogat. What’s shocking is that the disciplinary committee of the college remained dormant and hasn’t taken any action relating to this matter as of yet.

Amol Singh Rasnal, one of the students in the protests quoted to the Times of India saying, “Professor Kumar is one of the most well-reputed faculty members of the college. He was attacked by a student during the course of discharge of his duties. Such incidents should not be tolerated and it is imperative for us to protest against them and force the college authorities into taking quicker actions.” The sit-in protest got approval from the college principal and had been publicized through the use of social media and classroom campaigns.

“The relationship between a student and a professor extends to questioning and challenging, but violent means are always condemnable,” quoted Anil Kumar, head of the department of Global Business Administration, to Times of India (TOI) while addressing the students. He further added, “What pains me is that the authorities could have taken immediate action against the accused, but failed to do so. It has been 15 days now. We need to force the disciplinary committee to take action sooner so that this incident acts as a deterrent. Such behavior is disruptive of the SRCC culture, and should not be perceived as a part of it.”

All present at the protest signed a letter demanding the expulsion of the student from Delhi University, along with a proper police investigation. This was signed and forwarded to the authorities.

Javedkar Announces that Conducting Research for Teachers is Not Compulsory for Promotion

By

The Union Human Resource Development Minister Mr. Prakash Javadekar was addressing a gathering at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College at a programme on higher education, organised by the Akhil Bhartiya Rashtriya Shaikshik Mahasanga (ABRSM).

Mr. Javadekar, on Saturday, said college teachers will no longer have to compulsorily conduct research to be eligible for promotions. Instead, they can choose to engage in a community or student-related activity, based on which they will be assessed.

“We are going to do away with the mandatory clause of research for college teachers seeking promotions,” Javadekar said. “An official announcement in this regard will follow soon. Instead of that, I want teachers to be engaged in student activity. We will make one community activity or student activity mandatory,” he added.

Mandatory research for college teachers has brought down the quality of research, Javadekar said. The research will continue to remain mandatory for university professors who guide M Phil and Ph.D. scholars.

Mr. Javedkar addressed the curse of “ad-hocism” prevalent in DU and promised “completing the process of regular appointments within a year.” He also insisted that long serving ad-hoc teachers compete in the recruitment process.

He promised that the 7th Pay Commission recommendations would be implemented for the teaching community “very soon.”

Some of the points of his speech ranged the bell of concern in the mind of teachers. He has made up his mind to introduce compulsory student feedback in API calculations for promotions. He has insisted to linking funding of institutions to performance. He made up his mind to introduce “graded Autonomy” for institutions. He has threatened to shut down the colleges that are not able to perform well as per NAAC and NIRF. He has made up his mind that Grant Funding of Institutions has to be replaced by Loan Funding through HEFA.

ABSRM, which has contributed an NDTF presidential candidate for the DUTA election welcomed the speech but DTF’s candidate is skeptical about the speech. He believes there should have been questions on Mr. Javedkar’s speech and should have tried making government more accountable.

Delhi University Cuts Down Seats for M.A. English by 30%

By

The English Department of the University of Delhi has cut down the number of seats in the master’s programme of English by 30%, while 50% seats are reserved for the DU graduates. According to the first admission list, only 299 students have been admitted as against 425 admitted in the same list last year. The 299 students admitted hail to all categories.

As per the statistics of the entrance-based exam, 73 students who have been offered admission belong to the unreserved category, 42 to the OBC category, 23 to SC, and 12 to ST. These students have gotten admission in renowned colleges like Hindu, Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Miranda House, Hans Raj College, Ramjas, Sri Venkateshwara, Jesus and Mary, Kirori Mal College, amongst others.

Remarking on the decision of reduction of seats, Christel Devadawson, professor and head of Department of English at the University, clarifies,

“Last year, our department was alerted along with some others to the fact that there was a significant difference between the total number of seats against the name of the department of English and the sum total of the seats in different colleges which offer a master’s programme in English. Our attention was drawn to this, we were asked to take note of this discrepancy and set it right. Last year, however, was a year when many more paradigm shifts came into position so we did not address the matter last year. This year we addressed this matter. The convenor of the MA committee drew my attention to this, the convenor also spoke, both to his immediate predecessor and to the person who had been the convenor before that. They realised that the department had increased its seat intake without any official justification. Therefore, it was decided that it would be a good idea for the department to return to the original number of seats against the seats called sanctioned strength. Sanctioned strength is the term used to describe the number of seats assigned to each department on the basis of UGC norm. This reduction was done in a very systematic manner. Colleges that had seats below the number 60 for English in MA were not disturbed. Colleges that had an allocation of seats greater than 60, the reduction was made in those by 3-4 candidates in each case. That is how this reversion has been accomplished. I should add that the reverse to the sanctioned strength is not officially termed a ‘reduction’ but I can understand how it might seem to somebody looking at the list. Moreover, people last year mentioned that we weren’t doing justice to our students, we had very large internal assessment battles, we were not able to give individual attention, we had overcrowded class rooms, so this year the proposal came up that to correct our position.”

Today is the last day for the verification of documents, approval of admission, and payment of admission for M.A. English programme. The second list will be released if required by the University as mentioned in the notice.

Admissions date extended, DU to declare sixth cut off and a special drive for reserved categories to fill remaining seats

By

In a recent press release published in the University website, Delhi University (DU) has extended the date of admissions based on the fifth cut off till 20th July 2017, i.e-today. Students who couldn’t take admissions in any college due to various reasons can take admissions in colleges today.

After 20th July 2017 , he admissions for the fifth cut off list would be closed.  This would be followed by the sixth cut off which would be announced on 22nd July 2017. Admissions for the same would commence from 22nd July to 25th July. The admissions would be announced for all categories and admissions will take place on all other days except for Sunday.

According to the new release, every student who had registered for admissions for the session 2017-18 with the University and had failed to take admissions in earlier lists due to various reasons will be eligible for admissions in the sixth cut off.

Meanwhile the University has also planned to start a special drive for admissions in the reserved categories. This drive which would take place from 31st July to 5th August would include all the reserved category admissions like SC, ST, OBC, PwD, CW, Kashmiri Migrants and Sports.

While the orientation of some colleges have already taken place, but many other colleges have their orientations lined up for today as the academic season begins. While most of the seats for UG courses have been filled, the University is still in the process to finishing with the Post Graduate admissions which has led to several doubts, if the University would succeed in beginning its new academic season from 20th as declared in its academic calendar.

DU Closes Admissions for Fourth Cut-Off List; Seats Full in Majority Courses

By

July 15th marked the commencement of the fourth phase of University of Delhi’s merit-based undergraduate admissions. Filling up to 90% of the seats in various colleges, the candidates will be hard-pressed to secure a seat considering most courses have closed admissions.

The undergraduate admissions cycle branches out into merit-based and entrance-based mode of admissions every year; with 50,000 seats out of a total of 56,000 reserved for merit-based procedure, through the announcement of cut-off lists. Officials of the varsity have remarked that 3,500 seats were secured in this leg of admission cycle, with a marginal figure remaining to complete the process.

Eyeing individual colleges, Sri Venkateswara has hit the cap on the number of seats. The Hindustan Times quoted the Principal P Hemalatha Reddy, who delineated, “We have approximately 1,150 seats, and we have approved 1,198 admissions. Almost all the courses will be closed for admissions, especially under the general category, in the next list.” Following close behind, Kirori Mal College has a hundred seats remaining; but, have declared closed the admissions for popular courses. Moving to Daulat Ram College, Principal Savita Roy briefed, “Even in sought after courses such as B.Com, B.Com (Hons) and English (Hons), we have a few seats remaining.” Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College still has doors open, especially for Science students. “We have filled approximately 570 out of our 800 seats. Though most courses are going to be closed, we still have seats in the science courses,” said an associate professor.

Like the previous cut-off trends, this admission cycle too applicants had to endure technical snags and cut-off chaos which plagued their experience. The next, and anticipatedly the last cut-off list, is scheduled to be announced on the evening of July 17th. The new academic session of the University begins on July 20th.

Under PG admissions, all departments have two modes of admission – merit and entrance. Students from the University of Delhi who have performed well at the undergraduate level will take up 50% of the seats. This mode of direct admission is not available to students of other universities. The other 50% of seats will be filled through entrance tests and interviews or group discussions.

The timeline for the admission process dates July 17th-19th for the release of the first admission list and the subsequent steps to secure a seat in the desired college. Entrance for a plethora of courses was conducted in the first week of July; with reports of an assortment of cheating tactics surfacing across different colleges.

DU Officials Refute Claims by The Pioneer of Denying Admission to Students of Haryana Board

By

In yet another worrying move for aspirants, the University of Delhi (DU) has decided to stop the admission of all candidates who passed their 12th grade examinations from the Haryana Board of Secondary Education (HBSE). Contradictions between the marks displayed on HSBE’s official website and those mentioned in the applicants’ mark-sheets led DU’s officials to take this extreme measure.

“While on the website, the score has been segregated by giving 60 marks to theory, 20 for practicals and 20 for continuous evaluation, the mark-sheets show a division of 70:20 with 70 for theory and 20 for practicals. This has been rejected by the varsity…” said a senior official of the admission committee, as reported by The Pioneer. DU had contacted the HSBE formally a few days ago, but the officials claim that they received “no communication” from the Board. With all lines of formal communication between the Board and the varsity thus collapsing, the students are stranded and left to fend for themselves. The colleges which had previously granted admission to the candidates of the Haryana Board on the basis of documents, since discovering the loophole in their mark-sheets, have suspended their admission. Furthermore, the admission committee has notified other colleges not to proceed with the admission of these candidates from now onwards.

With thousands thronging the varsity from all across the country and the globe, and only a few days available to the students to grab their seats after a new cut-off list has been issued, being denied admission on the basis of a faulty mark-sheet comes across as something unwarranted and unfair. While the Board refuses to cooperate, the University refuses to bend its rules for anybody. This tussle could go on perennially with the chief casualties being the hundreds of helpless, innocent students unless the authorities on both ends wake up soon to resolve the matter.

However, when approached by the Press Trust of India, the varsity denied the declaration of this decision. M.K. Pandit, Chairman of the admissions standing committee, refuting the above decision stated, “There are students from Haryana who are being admitted to prestigious colleges. News relating to stalling of admissions is false!”
