New Delhi: Holding
placards and raising slogans, many Delhi University (DU) students
led by a students outfit with political affiliation protested the
high cut-offs announced by Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC).
The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) affiliated to the
Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh marched from the arts faculty to the
college but were not allowed to meet its principal, said an ABVP
spokesperson.
In its first cut-off list June 15, SRCC fixed the cut-off for the
B.Com (Honours) course at 100 percent for aspirants from
non-commerce streams.
"There were around a hundred of us and we wanted to meet the
principal but he did not bother to meet us. The high cut-offs are
discouraging the students," ABVP spokesperson Rohit Chahal told
IANS.
"We fear that other colleges will follow suit the next time,
making the admission process an absolute harassment for students
and their parents," he added.
According to Chahal, the university should first have enough
colleges to support the high number of applicants.
"Students are not getting admissions easily and on top of it, the
cut-offs are so high," added Chahal.
