While it may have spelled good news for many, Delhi University teachers and students have slammed the announcement by Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia that he is planning to reserve 90 per cent seats for Delhi students in DU colleges which are fully funded by the state government.
Delhi University Teachers Association (DUTA) on Monday said that they are against any such move as DU is a central university and the state cannot make changes in the reservation policies of colleges under a central university.
DUTA said that the state government is free to create more colleges and universities if they want to provide more facilities for Delhi residents.
"We have always been against any such move to reserve seats for Delhi students. DU is a central university and students from any part of the country should have equal access to every college under DU. State government should create more colleges and even universities if they want to give a better education facilities to Delhi students," said Abha Dev Habib, DUTA member.
Teachers are planning to meet the Minister and inform him about the teaching community's displeasure over the plan.
Delhi University Teachers Association (DUTA) on Monday said they are writing to the Minister for an appointment.
There are 12 colleges out of the over 70 colleges in DU which are fully funded by state government.
"We will write to Manish Sisodia tomorrow and seek an appointment. We think there is some misunderstanding and we need to debate with him. We will tell him about the effect it will have on the system as students from across the country come here, it will be unfair to give advantage to Delhi students in a central university," said Habib.
Students are also unhappy with the move and said that it will affect students from outside.
"More colleges should be created rather than reserving seats for Delhi residents. I am from Kerala and my sister wants to join DU but if there is reservation in some colleges obviously her chances will decline," said Nithya, a final year DU student.
