Average Students Denied Admission

The Haryana Abhibhawak Ekta Manch has claimed that various schools affiliated to the CBSE have started harassing the students who have shown average results in the recent board examination.

It is alleged that donations have been sought from such students. The Manch has offered help to such students and their parents and announced to initiate legal action against institutions.

A spokesperson of the Manch said here today that while the students who scored between 40 and 50 per cent marks in the Matric examination were denied admission in the next class, those who had scored between 50 and 70 per cent marks had been facing the difficulty of getting admission in the course or stream of their choice.

"Instead of the students deciding the course, the schools authorities have been virtually forcing them to take admission in arts and commerce streams," the Manch spokesperson claimed.

He said the Manch would offer help to the students and their parents to take a legal action against the schools which harass them on this account and deny admission on such grounds.

According to advocate O.P Sharma, president of the Manch, the schools could not deny admission to their regular students on the basis of their performance.

He said the Supreme Court in one of its decisions had held that a school should provide admission to its regular students who passed the exams before admitting other candidates.

He said the Manch had received complaints that some schools had been harassing the students in one way or the other.

These schools offered either commerce or arts courses or forced the average students to get transfer certificate.

Reports of some institutions seeking donations from such students had also come in, he claimed. He said the apex court in a case in Gujarat had ordered that the schools could not be given the liberty to deny admission to its own students. Asking the parents not to pay extra fee and other charges at the time of admission to Plus One class, the Manch asked the parents to lodge their protest against such moves.

The schools had been indulging in such a practice each year just to ensure admission to brilliant students and exploit the parents of average students, stated the Manch.
