ABVP Protests Against GCAS at Gujarat University

On Monday, members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) staged a protest at Gujarat University, voicing their discontent against the newly implemented Gujarat Common Admission Services (GCAS). This system is being used for the first time this year.

Allegations and Concerns:

ABVP members alleged several issues with the GCAS:

• Delayed admissions for many students.
• Lack of a mechanism to verify crucial details such as gender and caste certificates.

These shortcomings have reportedly caused significant trouble for both students and colleges during the first round of admissions.

Statewide Protests At Gujarat University:

The protest at Gujarat University was part of a larger series of demonstrations across the state, where students locked university gates in protest.

Specific Issues Highlighted:

Protesters highlighted seven specific issues with the GCAS:

• Students who confirmed admission in the first round are unable to participate in the second round.
• There is a need for GCAS to reopen for those left out of the process.
• A provision for document verification.
• The college seat matrix should be displayed on the GCAS website to ensure transparency in the admission process.

The protesting members demanded that these issues be addressed to facilitate a smoother student admission process.
