New Delhi: The Delhi University, which is gearing up for another busy admission season that will commence soon, is making extra efforts to ensure that the admission procedure is easy for physically disabled aspirants.
The Equal Opportunity Cell (EOC) at the university has decided to write to Delhi's Ministry of Social Justice and ask them to set up camps for conducting check ups for disabled students that will help them obtain disability certificates easily.
Nisha Singh, a member of the EOC said that the university wanted to make the admission process easier for disabled students. "We want the ministry to set up health camps for students where they can be checked by a board of doctors. The students will also be given disability certificates quickly," she said.
She further informed that the admission procedure fro disabled students at the university is most likely to begin on May 28 and will continue till June 8.
Through the duration of the admission procedure for disabled students, they will have to get themselves registered under the Physically Handicapped quota. The registration of the students will take place at the office of the Dean of Students' Welfare.
1600 seats at the university are reserved each year for disabled students. The document that is most necessary for admission to DU under the disabled students quota is the disability certificate.
According to the rules of the university, a candidate should have at least 40% disability to seek admission under the quota for disabled students. The lack of a disability certificate is the biggest reason why several candidates fail to seek admission under the quota.
J.M. Khurana, Dean of Students' Welfare said that the certificate should not be older than 5 years and should also have a picture of the candidate that is recognizable.
A three-day workshop had earlier been conducted by the EOC for special educators in schools and was attended by around 300 teachers. "We informed the teachers about the admission procedure at the university and the requirements necessary for it. Our aim is to take the number of admissions under the disability quota higher this year," Nisha Singh said.
