North-south divide at Delhi University?
The rivalry between North and South campus has been going on for years. While north campus boasts of best colleges, students and active extracurricular activities, south campus rates high on faculty and best girls colleges.
However, there are allegations of discrimination in admission process between the two campuses. The varsity’s south campus has been given almost a complete miss by DU representatives as well as student bodies who help aspirants in the admission process. As per media reports, while hundreds of stalls have been put up at the north campus to facilitate prospective students, aspirants at the south campus are finding the admission process difficult and are alleging discrimination.
Himanshu Nagpal, a DU aspirant, was shocked to see the disparity between the north and south campus. He said, “I have scored 92 per cent marks in the CBSE boards and wanted to take admission in Venkateswara College. However after looking at both sides I changed my mind about studying at south campus. When I went to the Arts Faculty at the north campus to buy and fill forms there were so many people to help me, there were help desks placed by different parties and teachers were also very cooperative. But I was shocked to see that nobody cared about students in south campus.”
He is not the only one to find disparity in treatment between north and south campus. Shruti Sahai, a DU aspirant, says, “Seeking admission in a college in south campus is a pain. Nothing is organised and there are hardly any counsellors or students volunteers to help you.”
However officials from both campuses believe the students are treated at par. They believe since there are fewer colleges in south campus than north campus, people think preference is given to north campus. Also while things are visible in colleges in north campus, it is difficult to locate in south campus.
