NEW DELHI, FEB. 22. Over a week after the Supreme Court quashed a provision in the Chhattisgarh Private Sector Universities Act, 2002, to cancel the registration of 112 universities set up under it, students here seem to be finally feeling the heat. With uncertainty looming over their university's affiliation and anxiety over the actual status of their degree giving way to tension, students of Rai University's Delhi campus today went on an indefinite strike. Demanding a reversal to their old status, the students said they were not ready to bargain their original degree for an affiliation from just about any university of Chhattisgarh. One of the 112 institutes declared illegal by the Court earlier this month, the Mathura Road campus of the university today witnessed much drama with students deciding to put their point of view across strongly". It is not an easy time for us. Most of the students here have come from other States. We have been told that we will be given an affiliation from Ravi Shankar University and that the degree would be that of a distance learning programme and not a regular one. Why would I want to spend lakhs of rupees for a degree from some vague university,'' argued a second year MBA student. With most students coming from outside Delhi, many say they have been receiving frantic calls from home enquiring about the matter. "A lot of parents had taken loan to arrange for their children's study. Most of them are worried now about the value that this degree will fetch their child. We enrolled in here because of Rai University and we don't want a degree from any other place,'' said another student. There were, however, also some who showed signs of hope. "I think a lot of students are just panicking instead of being patient. We have been told that things would be settled soon and assured that the matter would be sorted our,'' said Shelly, a management student from Jaipur.
