Zakir Husain College resumes BCom intake
NEW DELHI: Mid way into the second day of the third cutoff list admissions, Zakir Husain (evening) College allegedly declared there would be no more admission for the BCom programme. With no way out, eligible candidates approached the office of the dean of students' welfare, Delhi University, who got the admission process restored on Thursday.
Aspirants alleged though they met the cutoff and other criteria, college officials refused them admissions on Wednesday, saying the seats were exhausted.
"I has been waiting since afternoon in the queue. The admission process was pathetically slow and suddenly the college said no more candidates will be admitted in the BCom programme. There were around 20 students at that time in the queue who come under the ambit of the third cutoff and there was no way we could be denied admissions," said an aspirant, who requested anonymity.
With no one to turn to in the college, the students approached the DSW and complained. The DSW sent a three-member inquiry team led by deputy dean of students' welfare Gulshan Sahni. The admission resumed after this intervention.
"We received the complaints and a few of those seemed genuine and, therefore, the dean of students' welfare, J M Khurana, immediately spoke with the college officials and asked them to restore the admission process. In fact, as per the provisions of the admission policy, the monitoring team has been sent to the college and we are here in the college today till the end of the admissions to supervise the process," said Sahni.
While no college official came on record to state why the admissions has been stalled mid way, DSW officials said when they arrived at the college, the admission process was going at a very slow pace. Moreover, students also complained that at 7pm, the college officials said as the time for admissions was over, the students should come the next day.
"We asked the college to speed up the process and make more counters. Also, according to rules, all students who have turned up cannot be denied admissions. As the college declared the admission open at that particular cutoff, the admissions will remain open for all the four days," said deputy dean of students' welfare Gurpreet Singh Tuteja.
Any student who was turned away on Wednesday and didn't turn up on Thursday can seek admission on Friday.
