Provide more opportunities to students: BJP

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party president Harsh Vardhan on Saturday urged the Sheila Dikshit Government to provide more opportunities to students in higher education by starting classes for all subjects in additional shifts at Delhi University's colleges. He called for introduction of an entrance examination to make the admission process transparent.

In a statement, Dr. Vardhan said that in spite of getting high marks in their Board examinations thousands of students were not able to get admission to the college or course of their choice. "In many reputed Delhi University colleges students are not able to get admission to the course of their choice even after securing 90 per cent marks. This can prove very frustrating to the students.''

The BJP chief also demanded immediate construction of separate hostels for boys and girls in every college.

"In the past eight years of its rule, the Congress Government has not opened any new college in Delhi. In the existing colleges neither the number of seats nor the hostels have been increased. Students coming from outside the Capital are compelled to pay three to four thousand rupees as rent for a single room. The construction of hostels in colleges will solve this problem of the students.''
