Applicants to LSR complain of confusion in admission process

With technical glitches on the in Delhi University's admission portal, a mass of admission seekers at Lady Shri Ram College thronged the college on Saturday, with the next two days being off.

Meanwhile, parents of students teamed up with their wards and were curious and anxious whether or not their children would get admission.

However, despite the tight security and friendly environment at the college premises, students were seen complaining about the chaos and the mismanagement.Many complained of not getting proper assistance in getting their document verification and no proper response for their queries.

However, some other applicants were level-headed. "The chaos is because of the general mentality of the people. They are not ready to cooperate with the system. That's just because of nervous students," said Divyansha Singhal, an aspirant at LSR. Some of the applicants were seen anxious over the deduction of 2.5 per cent in the change of subject and 0.5 per cent in stream.

Several students were unaware that changing the stream or subject leads to minor cuts in their total of best of four subjects. "I will wait for the second cut-off, as I don't want to get enroll with my deducted percentage of best four subjects," Aamina Mariyam, who scored 96.5 per cent, said.

Meanwhile, a few students returned home, complaining about the confusion. "We did not expect to experience this kind of environment in this prestigious college. The process has been messed up now, I cannot bear this and would come in the next working days to get admission in the college," said Radhika Kohli, another student.

Another applicant at LSR, who said she was curious to take admission in Delhi University, said was depressed.

"I have completed my 12 from Kolkata Board, where Mathematics is not mandatory in Commerce. But over here, in the varsity, Maths is compulsory to pursue BCom (Hons). I am unhappy that I won't get admission in Commerce in any college of DU," Niang San said.
