SC students allege faulty seat allotments
New Delhi, June 28 For the SC/ST category, the university conducts the admission process centrally, wherein registrations are done with the dean of students' welfare (DSW) office and the university then allots the seats to the candidates. However, many SC/ST candidates have been complaining about faulty allotment of seats. There are many cases in which candidates had higher percentage, but they were denied admission, whereas candidates having less percentage were given seat in the same college and course. "Officials concerned said that it was a software failure. When we asked for correcting it, they said that the candidate can be given seat only in the second list. However, what will happen if the seats get filled in the same college and course by the time the second list of admission for the SC/ST candidates comes out," said one such candidate Prithvi Rai (name changed) who scored 90% in science and had applied for BSc (hons) chemistry in 13 colleges. "According to the website data, at Kirori Mal College, 17 chemistry seats have been given to students with lower marks. When approached the DSW office, they merely said that it was due to a software failure," he added. There are many more cases that indicate problems in the allotment of seats. Some students are doing repeated rounds of the university office as they have been allotted courses which they never even opted for in the first place. "In the general category, students can change their college and course after the declaration of every cutoff, if they have requisite percentage. However, once we take admission, we cannot change our college and course. To top it all, this year there was no prospectus for SC/ST admissions. And they can't even allot the proper course," said Surbhi Goyal, another candidate at the DSW office. |

Keep same power tariff in NDMC, other areas: RWAs
New Delhi, June 28 "The NDMC area which caters mostly to VIP population should have equal power tariff. The government has always been trying to favour discoms and safeguard their interest," said B S Vohra, president, East Delhi RWAs' Joint Front. "Major manipulations are done in the maintenance, unnecessary purchase, deficit in power purchase, change of equipment and installation of new equipment. The discoms show deficit every time," he said. However, clarifying on power tariff in the NDMC area, senior power department officials in the Delhi government said that the sources of power supply in respect of NDMC and the three discoms are different. "Discoms and the NDMC are not parallel as they have been operating on different parameters. The cost of purchase of power is quite different for both of them. It varies from Rs 2.32 to more than Rs 5 per unit. The NDMC's major sources of supply are from three generating sources: BTPS (Badarpur), Pragati-I and Dadri-I whose cost of energy ranges between Rs 2.32 and Rs.3.40," said a senior official. He said that NDMC and discoms are operating on different platforms and structure in terms of load, energy supply and demand, transmission, distribution constraints and source of power purchase. "Discoms's sources of power supply are from 30 different generating units. In case of discoms, the supply cost varies depending upon demand, supply, consumer, etc," added the official.
