The SFI, in a memorandum submitted to the Dean of Studies, has demanded that admissions made against eight increased PhD seats in DDU be cancelled and an advertisement for the same should be given again. The SFI alleged that five DDU seats were advertised this session, out of which four were for the general category and one for the SC/ST category. The SFI alleged that only these five seats were advertised while the rest were filled arbitrarily. The SFI urged the Dean of Studies to conduct an entrance exam for these seats.
