The Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) administration has cancelled the admission of activist Safoora Zargar who was enrolled as a research scholar.
In a notice, the administration said the Board of Studies had “approved the cancellation” of Zargar as an MPhil/PhD scholar at the varsity with effect from August 22.
“Her progress report by the supervisor was unsatisfactory. The scholar did not apply for extension as a woman scholar before the expiry of the stipulated maximum period. The scholar did not submit her MPhil dissertation within the maximum stipulated time of five semesters, plus on additional semester of Covid extension (sixth semester) that was also given to her, which ended on February 6,” the notice read.
Reacting to the notice, Zargar said, “The usually snail-paced Jamia administration moving at light speed to cancel my admission, foregoing all due process. Let it be known, it breaks my heart, but not my spirit.”
