DU Admissions 2017: No Admission under OBC Quota without Financial Status in the Certificate

One of the aspirants of DU who went to seek admission at Atma Ram Sanatan Dharma (ARSD) was shocked when the authorities mentioned that they could not grant admission under OBC quota if the submitted certificate does not mention the financial status under the Non-Creamy and Creamy category.

An official of the college pointed that students still do not have clarity about the necessary details that a caste certificate must contain. Few outstation students carrying state sanctioned OBC certificate were denied admission in their choice of college and course. The varsity clarified that the OBC certificate submitted by these students did not mention the Non-Creamy or Creamy category along with the financial status of the students.

The University of Delhi directed these candidates to wait for the next cut-off list and seek admission under General category as obtaining a new certificate takes time.
