BHUBANESWAR: Seven months have passed, but admission into Bachelor of Architecture (B Arch) course for previous academic session in the State has not been held so far. The aspirants are still waiting for the counseling date wasting a valuable academic year due to postponing of the date for twice.
As per Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) notification the counseling was scheduled on July 16, 2011, but unfortunately it was postponed because of the stay order passed by the Odisha High Court. After the interval of seven months, it was rescheduled on February 19, 2012. Again it was stayed for counseling for indefinite period.
“Like everyone I had a dream to do something different from others, so I chose architect in the OJEE entrance, but now I’m frustrated in the delay of counseling,” told OJEE and National Aptitude Test for Architecture (NATA) qualified Ankita Das.
When contacted the OJEE officials said the matter is in High Court and due to stay order on February 15 by the court, they had postponed it. The officials said the delay in admission occurred due to differences over the method of selection by a private college and the State Government.
Seeking a solution over the counseling process, the qualified students of Architect staged dharna in front of the OJEE office here on Saturday. Like Ankita, another student Abhishek Biswal also said the OJEE authorities could not give an adequate answer on their admission in (B Arch).
“This type of treatment with the students is not only a mental torture but affects on their career. Next year when a student wants to pursue a career in Architect, the student will think thousand times before filling the form,” lamented Ankita.
