New Delhi: Several OBC students who have applied for admission at Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) and Delhi College of Engineering now Delhi Technical University (DTU), are clueless about the number of seats reserved for them at the institute.
OBC students have not been called for counselling although the admission process for the general category is set to begin at both the campuses.
Most of the educational institutions have implemented the first phase of 27pc OBC quota in the last year. But, GGSIPU and DTU are still waiting for a green signal from the Delhi government.
GGSIPU and DTU can take any decision on the number of seats meant for OBC students will be decided only after the enactment of the Delhi Educational Institutes (Reservation in Admissions) Bill, 2009.
However, because of the delay, these varsities are forced to start the counselling process without the OBC candidates as the new session is expected to begin from the first week of August.
The faculty of technology (FoT) in DU, which conducted the admissions in DCE till it became DTU and Netaji Subhash Institute of Technology, expects the government's instructions for implementing the OBC quota before the new session starts.
"A separate result for the OBC students was declared by DCE in anticipation of the quota implementation. Counseling for OBC students will soon be started as the government decides," said Professor S K Singh, dean, FoT, DCE.
New session at DCE, now DTU will commence from August 1.
"The OBC admissions will then be done by increasing the seats over and above the present number,'' added Singh.
"We can not delay the counselling further as we have to commence our session on time. We still are not aware that we have to implement the 27pc quota in this year or in phases," said Pradeep Upmanyu, deputy registrar GGSIPU.
The new counselling schedule of GGSIPU can be accessed on www.ipu.ac.in
