Rahul Gandhi's Caste Allegations Refuted

Rahul Gandhi alleged that the Delhi University uses interviews to eliminate students based on caste and criticized the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh for a lack of representation of backward classes. The Delhi University strongly refuted these claims, stating that admissions are primarily based on Common University Entrance Test scores and that interviews are not mandated for most programs. The university urged Rahul Gandhi to verify facts before making such statements, expressing concern that his comments create a non-conducive environment. The India — Indian National Congress and some Delhi University professors also highlighted instances where qualified reserved category candidates were deemed 'not found suitable' after interviews for teaching positions.
