IIT Delhi asked to explain expulsions

Filed under:

The National Commission for the Scheduled Castes has asked IIT, Delhi, to explain in two weeks its decision to expel 20 undergraduate students, 12 of whom belonged to the Scheduled Castes communities. Some of the expelled students approached the NCSC alleging caste-based discrimination by the IIT management.

The commission chairperson, Buta Singh, had on Monday asked IIT Director Surendra Prasad to appear before it in person and explain the reasons for expulsion. According to sources, Mr. Prasad told the Commission that the students had been asked to leave because of their poor performance .

The complainants, on the other hand, had alleged that the IIT had expelled them on discriminatory provisions and the remedial courses made available to them were not of any help. Similarly, they were made to participate in the extra-curricular activities instead of allowing to devote more time to studies.
