\nIn a press release, ACAUT media cell said the statement was \u201cnecessitated following the justification put forth by the department of Horticulture in nominating Imnatemsu Imchen for the course of Bsc (Horti) in YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Himachal Pradesh in place of the rightful candidate Ms. Watinaro A. Imsong.\u201d
\nACAUT asked when the horticulture director\/department was not the competent authority, \u201con what basis was Imnatemsu nominated by the director?\u201d
\nACAUT said \u201csince there was no state JEE in 2014 nor did Imnatemsu appear for AIPMT, on what criteria was he selected?\u201d
\n\u201cDid the Horticulture department, call for interview for selection of students to B.Sc (Horti) course in YSP Univ? If so, why wasn\u2019t it advertised? If so, isn\u2019t it violative of laid down rules which states that only deptt of Technical Education can do so?
\nIn this regard, ACAUT questioned on what was the need of State Common Selection Board if Horticulture directorate could arbitrarily nominate students?
\nAfter the issue was brought to the notice of the directorate of Technical Education, ACAUT said the department (H&TE) wrote to YSP University to cancel the admission of Imnatemsu. ACAUT said the H&TE department had also explained in the letter that \u201cthe state government has decided to adopt the AIPMT as the basis for selection and nomination of candidates for admission into medical and allied courses.\u201d
\nThis point, ACAUT said made it clear that the contention of the Horticulture department\u2019s clarification that BSc (Horti) did not fall under AIPMT was bereft of truth. ACAUT urged the state government to write to both NEC and YSP University to clear the mess. ACAUT said the issue \u201chas alienated and disillusioned the vast majority of students and youth belonging to humble families who see no future with such leaders at the helm\u201d.
\nDAYO: Dimapur Ao Youth Organization (DAYO) has said that the organization has taken serious note of the \u201cdiscrimination meted out to Miss. Watinaro A Imsong.\u201d
\nDAYO president K. Longri Imchen and asst. gen. secretary Meyatoba said another candidate occupied the seat allotted to Watinaro \u201cby virtue of being nominated by the director of Horticulture, which is considered unprecedented and arbitrary.\u201d
\nDAYO said that a notification by the H&TE department clearly stated that \u201cthe selection of students for the state reserved seats in UG Engineering and MBBS and allied courses would be on the basis of JEE (main) and All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT)\u201d
\nDAYO said considering the serious nature of \u201cdiscrepancy and unfairness\u201d, it demanded the concerned authority to withdraw the nomination of the candidate and \u201censure Watinaro obtains her deserving admission.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
