Admit more students for law course: HC

Following a directive by the High Court, the Delhi University will admit an additional 301 students in its three-year LLB for this academic session.

The order was given on the plea filed by a group of students who alleged that the university and the law faculty were not adhering to past practices laid down by the HC.

The court opined that DU and the law faculty had not placed the correct position before the bench of acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar.

In its statement, DU had submitted that a total of 2,310 students were being admitted since 2008 to the LLB course offered at the varsity’s three law centres here.

However, according to the students, 2,611 seats, including 301 supernumerary ones for reserved category students, were available every year in the law course. Instead, this year, the 301 seats were absorbed and were included in the 2,310 seats for which admissions were carried out.
