New Delhi, February 13 National Conference member Sajjad Ahmad Kichloo raised concerns in the Rajya Sabha on Friday regarding the plight of students from Jammu and Kashmir who have been left in a state of uncertainty after a Rajasthan university allegedly failed to honor its admission commitments.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour, the MP from J&K stated that several students from Jammu who sought admission to nursing courses at Mewar University in Rajasthan were denied entry despite assurances from university authorities.
"There are many students from Jammu who applied to Mewar University in Rajasthan. Out of them, 82 applied for nursing courses. The university authority had promised that they would be given admission for BSc nursing, but they have not been admitted yet," Kichloo said.
He further alleged that when the students protested the denial, 33 of them were arrested. "If our students want to study, if they want to get an education, then what is happening? I demand that an inquiry be initiated and action taken against the concerned authorities," he said.
Kichloo also raised another case involving Shri Mata Vaishno Devi (SMVD) Medical College in Katra, where he claimed that 50 students selected on merit have been affected after the college was shut down.
"The students were selected on merit, and now the college is shut down. The future of those students is in danger. This is my request, they should get admission in other colleges," the MP said, urging intervention to safeguard the students' academic future.
