St Stephen’s publishes shortlist of Christian students after claims of over-quotas
In the midst of a fight between the University of Delhi and Saint Stephen The university, with regard to the selection of candidates for the reserved seats, has uploaded on its official website the list of Christian students who have been offered admission. The allocation for admission in any OF The program is run on the university’s exclusive portal: Common Seat Allotment System (CSAS). Faculties must send the verified and accepted assignments to the university to be uploaded to the centralized portal.
On Monday, DU released the list of seats for Christian candidates in minority colleges, including Jesus and Mary College. As for seats at St Stephen’s, another minority college under DU, the university said it had identified certain “crucial and alarming aspects” in the list submitted by the college due to which it could not proceed with the seats.
The university also accused St Stephen’s College of exceeding the authorised quota for Christian candidates in its revised seat allocation list, and of leaving some seats in some BA courses vacant despite the candidates meeting the required criteria based on CUET scores.
There was no response from St Stephen’s College principal John Varghese or admissions officer Sanjay Kumar on the development.
Attempts to obtain the university’s version of the allegations on several previous occasions have not yielded any response.
PTI also sought a response from DU dean of admissions Haneet Gandhi and registrar Vikas Gupta. Calls and text messages sent to them went unanswered.
Delhi University and St Stephen’s have long been at loggerheads over the institution’s autonomy. This year, the two sides turned on each other after the institution refused admission to 12 single female students who had sought admission through the newly introduced quota for them by DU.
The university has maintained that DU asked it to admit students beyond its capacity.
On August 29, the day the new academic session began, the Delhi High Court barred six students from attending classes till further orders after granting them provisional admission in the university.
On August 23, a single-judge bench granted relief to these students while noting that there was no fault of these students who had successfully cleared the CUET examination and other formalities and despite being meritorious, they were kept in suspense regarding the fate of their admission.
