27/06/2014 15:35
With uncertainty looming over 2.8 lakh Delhi University (DU) aspirants this year, many of students have started looking out for secure and other options in some other universities like Indraprastha University (IP) Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI), Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) and private institutions, reveals the ASSOCHAM paper. In case the tussle between the University Grants Commission and the DU top authority is not resolved soon, the DU aspirants will be forced to opt for other private institutions like Apeejay, Amity International, Rai university, Jaganath Institute of Management studies (JIMs), Manav Rachna. The current controversy is likely to impact this year’s admission process by 10-15 per cent. The inclination towards foreign universities would increase among those who are relatively well-off, adds the ASSOCHAM paper. Delhi University (DU) mess is leaving many DU hopefuls especially those from other cities-in the lurch. The ASSOCHAM paper reveals that nearly 55 per cent of students aspiring to get admission in Delhi University hail from the northeast, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, J& K etc, highlights the paper. As per the ASSOCHAM estimate, more than 22 per cent of the applicants at DU are from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar (18%), Bengal (15%) and North east (15%). Commenting on the unsavoury developments, D S Rawat ASSOCHAM Secretary General said, thousands of students are feeling after being caught in a tug-of-war between the university and the University Grants Commission (UGC) over the four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP). In the bargain, some of the private universities in and around the Delhi-NCR would benefit. At present, there are approximately 75,000 students under the four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP). The current controversy has cast a shadow on the future of more than 2.8 Lakhs students in jeopardy Due to delay in admission, many parents and their wards from outstation have to spend extra time and money on travel and lodging in Delhi. “The longer the stalemate continues, greater the chance of DU admissions clashing with the dates for applying to colleges in different universities”, adds Rawat.
