Delhi University asks colleges to upload details

Last week, a professor at a DU college had alleged that the college principal was involved in an admission fraud under the extra-curricular activities (ECA) quota. The principal refuted the allegations.

DU authorities said several cases of alleged fake admissions were reported to the varsity after it asked colleges to admit fresh batch of undergraduate students. Some even pertain to admission through forged OMR sheet, caste certificates and even marksheets.

The admission process this year is still under way and nearly 70,000 students have enrolled themselves so far. DU recently announced the schedule for its eighth, ninth and tenth cutoff lists.

With police cracking down on a fake admission racket involving at least 22 students, university authorities, however, ruled out any action just yet, saying it was the prerogative of colleges to handle such cases.

“It is the college’s job to make sure all admissions are in proper order. University can only issue guidelines, it can’t intervene unless colleges or the police ask for university to help, in which case the university can set up an inquiry committee to look into the matter,” an official said.
