Jamia Millia limping back to normal

Mandira Nayar

NEW DELHI: Jamia Millia Islamia is all set to resume classes in a phased manner with the Faculty of Education being the first to open its doors to students this Thursday. Taking steps towards normality after violence rocked the campus this past week, the University that kicked off its revised admission process on Tuesday enrolled 22 students for its Masters in Business Administration (MBA) programme under the Faculty of Management Studies.

The last date for completing admission formalities for this programme is August 3. While there is tight security on the campus as some students continue to be on hunger strike, the University is trying its best to ensure that the admission seekers have no problem.

An information desk is being set up at the main gate of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology to guide all aspirants to the various offices to complete necessary admission formalities. The Assistant Registrar (Establishment) has also been asked to co-ordinate with the Deans and Heads of Faculties, Centres and Departments to provide all necessary help in easing the admission process.

In an attempt to clarify Jamia's stand, Vice-Chancellor Mushirul Hasan has written to the officials concerned in the Government. Pointing out that all admissions to the University are provisional and not a matter of right, Prof. Hasan has stated that for years the University has exercised the right to deny admission to applicants who have earlier been expelled, rusticated or found guilty of misconduct.

He further wrote that 39 applicants were denied admission on these grounds, which was reported to and approved by the Academic Council, which had met on July 10. Apart from explaining the sequence of events that led to indefinite closure of the University last week, Prof. Hasan has also provided detailed written complaints received from different people about the misconduct of the students' union.
