Another Impersonator caught by Alert Jamia Staff

In spite of the University having announced that candidates appearing for Entrance Tests and Interviews in Jamia Millia Islamia will be physically photographed and in spite of many cases of impersonation having come to light and rightly highlighted by the Media, the impersonators are quite brash and still take their chances. However, at Jamia they have no chance of success.



The latest one to get caught by vigilant Jamia staff was apprehended by the Interview Committee which was sitting to interview candidates for the prestigious B.Tech. Program on 18 June 2010.



The committee observed that the photograph on the Application Form of a candidate called Gulam Ahamad Raza did not match with the one appearing for the Interview. On questioning the candidate admitted that he was hired by one Irshad alias Lakki to do so and they had also settled on an amount of Rs. 25,000 to be exchanged, if the candidate was selected. The matter has been reported to the Proctor of the University for necessary action.



The candidate has also been handed over to the Police for Registration of an FIR by the University administration.

Interview of Mr. Najeeb Jung (VC, Jamia Millia Islamia) on Jamia

Jamia Millia Islamia has around 20,000 students and 700 faculty members. Despite being a central university with some unique and popular courses, the university is often per- ceived as one meant only for the Muslim community.

Its Vice-Chancellor Najeeb Jung spoke about the debate on whether it should be a minority institution, challenges and the road ahead for the varsity.

On March 15, the teachers observed a strike demanding minority status for the varsity.
The issue of converting Jamia into a minority institution has gained centre stage. Don't you think it is detrimental to the institution's image?

The decision lies with the gov- ernment of India. Yes, it does affect the image somewhat but one has to understand the reason behind it. Ninety years ago the nationalist Muslim leaders, the founders of the university, wanted to form an institution of higher learning to educate Muslims. So, the community see it prima facie an institute meant for them.

Is this the reason why the varsity is stereotyped as serving only one community?

It is unfortunate that the var- sity is seen in such a way. We have students coming from all over the country. So, this kind of a branding is not fair.

Why is it that the university is still not the number one choice for students despite having some good courses?

I don't think so if we go by sta- tistics. We receive some 3,000 applications for 30 seats.
Besides, the university also caters to students from economically weaker sections.

The popularity of Jamia's flagship courses in mass communication has waned. What is the reason?


I think this has a lot to do with the competition from other media schools. As far as the faculty is concerned, it is as good as any other, though we do face some challenges in attracting fresh talent.

So, is it lack of resources that prevents you from attracting quality faculty and students?

Yes, we need improved stu- dios for students of media studies, better laboratories for science students. The budget for JNU is five times more than us, whereas we have three times more stu- dents. But in spite of such constraints, we have deliv- ered. One of the students has recently won an internation- al still photography contest while a teacher has bagged the national award for audio- graphy in a film this year.

What is the road ahead?

Besides upgradation of infrastructure, we have introduced the semester system in the post-graduate courses. A series of knowledge lectures with speakers such as Shashi Tharoor and Nandan Nilekani have been also organised. We have discontinued with BA (pass). We will relaunch it with only four subjects. We are also planning to introduce semester system in undergraduate courses.

We are deeply saddened by the reports of the destruction and death coming out of Haiti. We've been heartened by the outpouring of support and donations coming from the Causes community. Thousands of donors have together given over $150,000 to help nonprofits that are working on the ground to provide food, shelter, medical care, water, and other necessities to the people of Haiti.

Light a Candle for Haiti from UNICEF
Food for Haiti
from CARE
Shelter for Haiti from the American Red Cross
