Times
of India: New Delhi: Saturday, 27 September 2014.
Caught
between the Faculty of Law, Delhi University and Bar Council of India, students
of Campus Law Centre, Law Centre-1 and Law Centre-2 are looking at an uncertain
future. Most students say it is their faculty's fault and it should have
applied on time. In fact, some students took the RTI route to find out whether
the faculty had been following BCI rules, but they are yet to receive a
response.
Terming this
a major concern, first-year student of Campus Law Centre, Mohit Kumar, said,
"Actually it is a big concern for us. The final-year students should be
concerned".
Tarun,
another first-year student, said the faculty lacks infrastructure and other
facilities. "I know of the BCI rules of 2008 implemented in 2010.
Therefore I filed an RTI asking the faculty about these. I am yet to receive
any reply on this and now we got to know that our institution is not even
recognized. They are playing with the future of students."
The students
are upset over the fact that no official came forward to make a statement on
the issue. Some are planning protests while others are wondering if they have
done the right thing by enrolling in DU.
Shivani Gupta
(name changed) said, "Now I am wondering whether I should have opted for
some other university. The facilities and infrastructure here are pathetic. But
I joined because of the DU tag, which I now feel is a myth. Feeling completely
cheated".
