Expulsion Of Sc/ST Student From IIT Delhi

Filed under:

The fact that 20 students were expelled from IIT Delhi became big news. But there are two sides to a story like most of us know. However little do we know about the other side to this story.

There must have been some good reason for the administration to take such an action. So as a student of this very institute I want to give you a sneak peak into system of IIT - Delhi and how it works

Credits are given to students for passing a particular course and this is decided before the course starts.An important thing is there is something called SRC which is applied to a student who doesn’t perform well. SRC helps to keep a check on the student’s performance and also suggests them to do limited number of courses so that they can score well in all.

There is also a minimum number of credits which one should complete each year to get his/her degree.They respectively are

16 at end of 1 year and 46 at end of 2 years and so on.

The most important thing here is grade F which is alloted to students who do not manage to get minimum required marks or if you have an attendance below 75 per cent.Normally these are only two ways by which you can get a F grade except if you are caught cheating or doing some thing illegal according to the institute’s norms.

This information is given to the students at the time of admission and it is necessary to have rules like this so that one can complete his/her degree.

Around 500 student take admission in IIT - Delhi through JEE out of which 100 are SC/ ST.20 students are expelled from IIT out of 100.Earlier the cases of expulsion were very few but now the number has sharply increased.However, before blaming the institute we should see what was the real problem.

These students should have studied when they were aware of the consequences.Also, if they did get an F grade due to minimal attendance we cannot blame IIT.
