My questions of RTI Application of dt 22/9/2014 sent to JOINT ADMISSION COMMITTEE OF IISERs and reply of dt 8/10/2014 recieved from Saptarshi Mukherjee on behalf of the committee are hereunder:-

Q.1. What was the category wise cut-off for the physics stream in the year 2014 for the selection through the Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY) ?

Ans.1.Information Not available,as stated earlier all the candidates who had applied through the KVPY Channel were offered admissions in IISERs.There was no separate list subject wise.

Q.2.Please send a copy of the merit list of each selected students of the physics stream of the year 2014 selected through the Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana (KVPY).

Ans.2.Information Not available.

Q.3. What was the category wise cut -off for the physics stream in the year 2014 for the selection through the Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) 2014?

Ans.3.Information Not available,as stated earlier the IIT-JEE (Advanced) 2014 merit rank list was used to offer admission to candidates.The merit rank list is based on the marks obtained in Physics,Chemistry and Mathematics Combined and individual marks of any subject were not considered.

Q.4. Please send a copy of the merit list of each selected students of the physics stream of the year 2014 selected through the Joint Entrance Examination (Advanced) 2014.

Ans.4.Information Not available.

Q.5.What was the category wise cut -off for the physics stream in the year 2014 for the selection through the State and Central Boards?

Ans.5.Information Not available,as stated earlier eligible candidates applying through the SCB Channel had to appear for the IISER Aptitude Test 2014,which comprised equal number of questions from Biology,Chemistry,Mathematics and Physics and individual marks of any subject were not considered.

Q.6. Please send a copy of the merit list of each selected students of the physics stream of the year 2014 selected through the State and Central Boards.

Ans.6.Information Not available.

Q.7. Please send a copy of the Result List of IISER Science Aptitude Test (ISAT) of each selected students of the physics stream of the year 2014 selected through the State and Central Boards.

Ans.7.Information Not available,as stated earlier that for the merit rank list based on the IISER Aptitude Test 2014 was based on the total marks obtained in all the four subjects ,namely Biology,Chemistry,Mathematics and Physics and individual marks of any subject were not considered.

Reply on question No 1 is right and same i believe to be true.
Reply on Q.No 3 and Q.No.5 is false because it is replied that individual marks of any subject were not considered.I sought query regarding Cut-Off for the physics stream and Cut-Off for the selection in physics stream was if available,then it ought to have been provided,unless not.There is no relationship in between the individual marks of any subject and cut-off.Response has been submitted against the query sought and same may be treated as furnishing false information.

The CPIO has refused to provide information on Q.No.2,4,6 and 7.Whether separate merit list/result list for a particular stream of these three channels are issued or not,but by my questions it is obvioused that merit list/result list of each selected students of the physics stream have been sought,so the CPIO ought to have made a separate list of selected students of physics stream and accordingly merit list/result list of these students ought to have been provided.

Now again I am sending an RTI application to this authority and demanding merit rank list and result list of all students of the IISERs selected through these all three channels in 2014 and also seeking cut-off specified in 2014 for the qualification through these channels .Meant not seeking information regarding any particular stream.

As the CPIO has furnished false information of two questions and refused to provide information of four questions,so the complaint against the CPIO will be filed before the Central Information Commission under section 18(1) of the RTI Act,2005.

Earlier,the IISER,Bhopal had refused to provide above information by stating that IISERs admission is conducted by Joint Admission Committee,IISERs and information is not available with us but the RTI application was not tranferred to the Joint Admission Committee,IISERs in accordance with the section 6(3) of the RTI Act,2005 and same will be treated under section 7(2) of the act that the CPIO has refused to provide information.So,on 22/9/2014,i have made complaint before the Central Information Commission under section 18(1) of the RTI Act,2005 against this behaviour of the IISER,Bhopal.

Since all IISERs are not issuing Cut-Off, Merit List and Result Of Aptitude Test and the reason behind not issuing is that IISERs are involved in making fraudulent admission through ”back door” of such students who are not
eligible to be enlisted in merit list and who are not qualifying
aptitude test. Therefore,earlier IISER,Bhopal had not tranferred my RTI Application and now JAC,IISERs have provided false information as well refused to provide information.
