New Delhi: The law aspirants from other state universities, who had appeared for the entrance exam of Delhi University Faculty of Law early this year, but failed to get admissions, will now be allowed to get admission in the university as the varsity has agreed to admit all of them. These students had to suffer due to the delay in the declaration of their final year results.
The students in turn have agreed to withdraw their writ petition that they filed in the high court this morning.
The Dean, Law Centre was given the notification in this connection which said that the students of other state universities who had cleared the entrance and missed their admission deadlines due to delay in their results should be given admission.
A group of students met the vice-chancellor on Monday, who had assured them of appropriate action in the matter. The vice-chancellor has now accepted the students' demands regarding their admission in LL.B. Over the past few days, these students supported by some leaders in the university had been pursuing the matter with the university officials.
Deepika Deshwal, student activist who had been highlighting the issue over the past few days said that initially, several officials even refused to meet them, but with regular protests and media exposure, the matter came to the fore. They had to finally agree to listen to the students. Now they are glad that the future of almost 150 students is now safe with the university agreed to admit them.
Arti Mathur, one of the affected students from Agra University said that they had to write many applications, submit memorandums, approach the student council and even try meeting the vice-chancellor, the dean of Department of law and the registrar. And now their efforts have borne results, she said.
