On Monday, students gathered outside GL Bajaj College in Knowledge Park, Greater Noida, to protest alleged irregularities in the admission process. The students claim they were enrolled at the college’s Mathura campus despite having applied for admission at the Greater Noida location. This situation has raised concerns about the transparency and fairness of the college’s admissions procedures.
Meanwhile, a delegation of students met with the college management on Monday to discuss the matter. The protesting students, along with leaders of the Samajwadi Chhatra Sabha, raised slogans against the college administration and demanded that their admissions be retained at the Greater Noida campus. Student Nirupama Yadav alleged that the college collected fees from students for admission at the Greater Noida campus but subsequently registered them at the Mathura branch. Mohit Nagar, district president of the Samajwadi Chhatra Sabha, alleged that the college administration had committed a serious irregularity with the students. Nagar demanded that the students be given admission at the Greater Noida campus and warned of further agitation, including a possible lockout of the college, if the issue is not resolved.
She said she had already paid Rs 1.72 lakh towards college and hostel fees. Another student, Prince, said he too had deposited Rs 1.72 lakh before being informed that his admission had been made at the Mathura campus. Following the meeting, the management reportedly assured the students that the issue would be resolved and sought time until September 26.
He claimed that when he raised the issue with the college administration, he was told that students would only need to travel to Mathura to appear for examinations, while the other facilities would be provided at the Greater Noida campus.
