Are you for real? ▮▮▮ He's the kinda dude who made DYC sit inside a tent at 42°C for a convocation ceremony. Tracing a letter back to its sender is no big deal for him.
Reading comprehension/critical reasoning are necessary skills for budding lawyers which I believe you lack severely.
So we sent the email and the student bar council took charge. Our vice president voiced our concerns to the administration and our VC agreed to make a committee to sort this matter.
Yesterday, our registrar also visited our accommodation and took a headcount of our current batch.
To trolls who are throwing personal attacks, try to understand one's situation before talking shit. Even our faculties are scared to raise their voice (despite not getting full salaries for the past six months),what the hell do you expect a single first-year student just out of high school to do? Had my identity been compromised, I'd have been thrown out of this uni for the violation of the "academic code of conduct"
Today was the first day of our end-semester examination. We're still waiting for positive results. Thank you to everyone who genuinely helped us. Though we didn't mass boycott the exams, there were a lot of useful actions that I was able to take because of the clarity some LI peers gave.
1. Exploit the election window. Report this to the press and go to the HC/SC asap. This will get you mileage and statements of support from the opposition. The government will act.
2. Next, exploit the window when Chandrachud nears retirement and goes into popular mode. Go file a petition again and seek relief.
1) Hoping to find someone powerful who shows sympathy and puts us out of our misery.
I believe it's a long shot but maybe my stars might align.
2) Suggest me ways through which I could anonymously help my batchmates without me getting suspended, killed or given backlogs in 6 subjects. (They won't kill me. Right?)
Third-Sixth floors are occupied by our first year girls. (they also have other residents living there)
These residents are from engineering colleges (mainly boys) and there are various catcalling, indecency incidents that have occurred over the past year that was IGNORED by the management.
The purpose behind this rant is to find a way we can curb this problem without me compromising my identity (and my seat in this university)
Let's be real this uni is owned by a ▮▮▮ who's not . If 10+ PQE lawyers couldn't do shit how is it feasible for teenagers to just risk everything and sit on a hunger strike?
P.S - the above email is sent (via CC) to all the batches, the VC and the relevant faculties. Guess what? IGNORED.
The campus is great however we first years live 7km away in the middle of nowhere. Our voice is being crushed no matter where we raise it.
Make sure to spam mails of politicians and VC
If you are paying 3 Lakh rupee in a year and still not getting promised facilities you should file a court case against UNI it will surely attract media
issue No. 1: Favoritism in PhD Candidacy
A concerning situation has emerged involving favoritism towards a PhD candidate who is also a faculty member. The candidate's withdrawal from another National Law University (NLU) was inaccurately portrayed as a transfer, providing them with undue benefits for their PhD tenure. Despite the widespread knowledge of the withdrawal document among faculty members, the administration continues its bold approach, risking further embarrassment and potential litigation.
Issue No. 2: Financial Mismanagement and Event Planning
The university administration has been criticized for financial mismanagement. Despite the financial strain, plans for a TEDx event are moving forward. Faculty members were initially assured that the event would not impact their partially paid salaries. However, this assurance was retracted from the revised meeting minutes after the Vice-Chancellor (VC), VK, raised concerns about potential media leaks. The original minutes, which had been distributed for reference, are still available.
Issue No. 3: Examination Department Irregularities
The examination department's operations have been called into question, with allegations of result manipulation, biased gold medal allocation, and PhD entrance exam favouritism. The assignment of invigilation duties reveals clear favoritism, with some faculty members being exempted and others repeatedly burdened. The duty charts from the numerous exams conducted throughout the year highlight this unfair practice, which is becoming increasingly intolerable. The Controller of Examinations (CoE), exam convenor, and all Assistant Registrars (ARs) must address these issues as they are creating evidences themselves which will cost them soon
The university is keeping us out of campus in 43° without any basic amenities. 3am power cuts are hindering our exam schedule and it hurts to see that nobody cares about students. Due to the lack of proper management there are boys living in girls hostel and the management is sleeping on it. Here's the below attached email that is sent by the anguished students to the faculty yet no response has come.
I hope this email finds you in good health.
I am writing this email on behalf of the batch of 2023-28, who were promised to be housed in the campus hostels from academic year 2024-25 onwards, who have been kept in separate off-campus housing for the current academic year (2023-24). These promises were made during the Orientation which was attended by both students and parents.
When we enrolled at this university, one amongst many explicit assurances by the administration was that after our first year, all students would be integrated into the main campus hostels. This assurance was a major factor affecting our decision to attend this university because the students were operating under the promise of being shifted to the main campus hostels in the second year. There are, however, no signs in sight that this promise will come to fruition.
Now that this academic year has drawn to a conclusion and since there still is a lot of uncertainty caused by a vacuum of information regarding our rightful shifting, it forces us to speculate what our future accommodation might be, or if the administration would be keeping us at the off-campus hostels indefinitely, due to “certain reasons” that have not been properly communicated.
This is simply unacceptable. We are paying a total fee of Rs. 3,65,000, and therefore have an equal right to the same campus living experience as is being enjoyed by all our senior batches. The university must uphold its commitments.
We demand that concrete answers and a firm timeline be set and communicated immediately by the administration for relocating all students of batch 2023-28 to the campus hostel before the start of the academic year 2024-25. Keeping us isolated and separated is disruptive to the cohesive student experience of which we were assured.
We request an official written communication by the end of Saturday, i.e., April 20, 2024.
In our living experience so far at our current off-campus hostels, we have suffered several issues with respect to our security and living conditions which have already been flagged several times and have been reiterated below. It is pertinent to mention that little or no steps were taken to resolve these issues.
1. Security issues which have been flagged repeatedly
2. Buses do not ply on time, creates a nuisance for students, and leads to loss of precious time
3. Several instances of bus drivers drunk driving and misbehaving
4. Very limited access to the library and reading room services
5. No common room allotted for co-ed academic activities (both girls and boys studying together)
6. Subpar infrastructure of this apartment
7. No access to air conditioners
8. Random electricity and power cuts
9. Students endure extreme heat during power cuts
10. Food delivery problems
11. No emergency medical facilities available
12. Major safety issues of girls
13. Disturbance due to trains and their incessant horns
14. Wi-Fi problems
15. Residents creating problems in day-to-day activities
16. Restrictive hostel in-timings
17. Insects infestation, and related health issues (instances of students contracting malaria and dengue have been recorded)
There are several other concerns which we are willing to expand on and put forth directly to the administration and the relevant authorities. We request an audience of all relevant authorities for the same.
We hope the university will do the right thing and honour the representations made to us. Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter
