THE PRINCIPAL of the DAV Degree College has instituted an inquiry into the deleting of names of the bona-fide students from the final admission list and the inclusion of the names of the unscrupulous student. It is believed that the tampering in the admission list on the basis of the bank fee deposit receipts was done in connivance with the college and the bank staff.

Talking to Hindustan Times, the principal, Dr Ashok Saxena said that after the completion of the inquiry an FIR would be lodged against the culprits and suitable action would also be initiated against them.

It is worth mentioning the racket of deleting the names of the bona-fide students from the final admission list has been continuing for the past several years. Several students whose names were not included in the college admission list repeatedly informed the college principals earlier, but the principal did not take complaints seriously, as they believed that it was not possible to tamper the counterfoil of the bank pay-in-slips or to issue fake counterfoil to the college and to keep it with the bank record.

However, this time again few students complained to the principal that though they had deposited the fee for admission in the college, but their names did not appear in the admission list.

According to Dr Saxena, during the preliminary inquiry, it was found that that an act of tampering was made to de-register the bona-fide students and include the names of the students with some ulterior motives. He said in two cases the names of the student on the counterfoil issued to them differed from the name written on the counterfoils kept with the bank and the other one, which was issued to college.

Consequently, the bank was directed to provide complete record of the fee deposit counterfoils to tally it with the counterfoils issued to the actual fee depositors. Principal said inquiry process was being delayed due to delay on the part of bank in providing the required record.

He said that even today two students who came to take the examination forms issued by the university were denied the examination forms on the ground that their names did not figure in the admission list. Students showed the counterfoils issued by the bank in their name, but since someone else fraudulently took the form, he could not be given the forms. However, the principal assured these students of justice.

Dr Saxena said they had no other way to detect the tampering in pay-in slips and in admission list and to assess the number of affected students. The only way to detect the tampering was to get the complaints from the bona-fide students who were not issued the examination forms from the college. He said so far ten students have complained the tampering in the admission list, he added.

Some students also alleged that the active agents during the admission time had taken Rs 5000 to Rs 10,000 from the admission seekers. They further alleged that this racket has been flourishing for the past several years.
