High Court Helps "Bright Young Dalit Girl" With IIT BHU Admission Fee

A 17-year-old student who couldn’t afford the fee after qualifying for Banaras Hindu University (BHU) received Rs 15,000 the Allahabad High Court on Monday. Sanskriti Ranjan, who is from the Scheduled Castes community, appeared before the Lucknow bench of the high court. She had cleared the JEE, or the Joint Entrance Examination for higher educational institutions. With 92.77 percentile, she ranked of 2,062 in the Scheduled Castes category. But when she wanted to join BHU’s five-year course in Mathematics and Computing, she fell short of the admission fee. Helpless, she petitioned the high court, which told the university and the Education Ministry’s seat allocation body to admit her.
