Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena has approved the admission of students of BA, LLB, and BBA, LLB for the remaining vacant seats at Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), pointing out a delay of around five years on the part of the Delhi government in the admission process, officials at the LG office said on Tuesday.
The admission of students has been approved by the LG on the basis of the aggregate score of CUET in three subjects—English, legal studies, and general test—against the remaining vacant seats after exhausting the complete merit list of CLAT (UG) with effect from academic session 2023–24 in the five-year integrated law programmes of the university, the official added.
Notably, Delhi LG VK Saxena is the Chancellor of the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU). While noting on the file addressed to the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, the LG expressed his concern that approval from him has been sought much after the commencement of academic session 2023–24, thereby causing ‘unnecessary harassment’ to aspiring students of these much sought-after professional programs, the statement from the LG office said.
“Keeping in view the larger interests of the students, the LG approved the admission procedure, observing with concern that the proposal for regulating admission in BA, LL.B., and BBA LL.B. Programme at GGSIPU for the academic session 2023–24 has been submitted in the month of September, causing inordinate delay in filling up the vacant seats in these courses,” it said. The LG, in his note, advised to ensure the timely processing of such proposals, if any, in the future to avoid unnecessary delays and for the timely commencement of academic activities.
