Record cut-off percentage in most colleges
RESENTMENT IS brewing among the students soon after the admission process to under graduate courses was closed. This has happened as a sizeable number of students with first and good second divisions could not get admission to any of the aided colleges of the city.
According to the principals of the colleges, which used to be known as the ‘saviour’ of the third and the second division students, enjoyed the cut-off at 65 per cent.
As such, a large number of students with second and third division could not get admission to these colleges this year. There were about four such colleges, which accommodated most of the students with poor divisions till last year. But this year, they too failed to oblige the second and third division students.
On the other hand, the most prestigious colleges of the city have crossed the past record of cut off percentage.
They received good number of students with 68 to 80 per cent marks.
At one of the prestigious college, the cut off for B Sc mathematics was witnessed as 81 per cent while at B Com it was 82 per cent. Consequently, many of the first division students were denied admission at these colleges.
Taking the advantage of the frustration of the students, who were denied admissions, many of the unscrupulous student leaders have started organising them at every college.
According to informed sources, all these student leaders are the active members of different political parties and were trying to use the issue for their benefit.
Incidents of clashes between the groups of students and students and the college management over some issue have indicated a bigger trouble.
College authorities have already intimated the district authorities for taking adequate steps to check the possible outbreak of a large number of students, who could not be given admissions in their respective colleges.
The decision of the district administration to get the college union elections finished during August, has made the student leaders active for mustering support just on admission issue. So far, the student leaders not only assisted admission seekers in getting the admission forms, but also strongly pleaded their cases before the college management.
Members of the student wings of political parties, prominent among those are the Samajwadi Yuvjan Sabha, Rashtriya Chhatra Sangathan and Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad could be spotted at every college wooing the students on the assurances that they would get admission to the city colleges if they supported them.
