Students protested outside GL Bajaj College in Knowledge Park, Greater Noida, over allegations of irregularities in the admission process, claiming they paid fees for the Greater Noida campus but were subsequently informed that their MBA admissions had been linked to the college’s Mathura campus.
Students Nirupama Yadav and Prince said they had each paid ₹1.72 lakh towards college and hostel fees and were unhappy with being asked to study in Greater Noida while travelling to Mathura for examinations. According to the protesting students, more than 150 students are facing a similar situation.
The students, along with Samajwadi Chhatra Sabha members, demanded that their admissions be retained at Greater Noida. The college management reportedly met a student delegation and sought time until September 26 to resolve the matter. Greater Noida Police said the administration was in talks with the students and that peace was maintained at the spot. No detailed public response from the college addressing the allegations has been reported so far.
Students Question Campus Allocation
The dispute centres on the campus where students say they expected to pursue their MBA after completing the admission process. Nirupama Yadav alleged that she had applied for admission at the Greater Noida campus and paid ₹1.72 lakh towards college and hostel fees, but later learnt that her registration had been made at the Mathura branch. Another student, Prince, also said he had deposited ₹1.72 lakh before being informed that his admission was linked to Mathura.
According to his account, when students raised objections, the administration told them they would only have to travel to Mathura for examinations, while other facilities would be available at Greater Noida. The students have rejected this arrangement, saying their payments and admission expectations were tied to the Greater Noida campus.
The students were joined in the protest by members of the Samajwadi Chhatra Sabha. Its district president, Mohit Nagar, alleged that the college administration had committed a serious irregularity and demanded that the affected students be allowed to continue at the Greater Noida campus. He also warned of further agitation, including a possible lockout, if the matter was not resolved. These remain allegations made by the students and their representatives and have not been independently established.
Management Seeks More Time
The dispute has reportedly affected more than 150 students, according to those protesting. While the figure has not been independently verified, the number indicates the potential scale of the issue if the students’ claims are accurate. For students and their families, the disagreement has implications beyond campus preference, as admission decisions involve substantial financial commitments and can affect academic plans, accommodation and the ability to secure admission elsewhere during the same academic cycle.
Following the protest, a delegation of students met the college management. The management reportedly assured them that the issue would be resolved and sought time until September 26. Greater Noida Police separately said the matter concerned an MBA admission dispute, that the college administration was holding discussions with the students, and that police personnel were present to maintain peace.
As of the latest reports reviewed, there is no detailed public statement from GL Bajaj College explaining its position on the students’ allegations.
The Logical Indian’s Perspective
Admission disputes can place considerable financial and emotional pressure on students, particularly when they arise after fees have already been paid and academic plans have been made. The allegations should therefore be examined transparently, with the college clearly communicating each student’s official admission status, campus allocation, fee details and available options.
At the same time, students should be able to raise their concerns peacefully and seek institutional and regulatory remedies where necessary. A timely dialogue between the students, college management and relevant authorities could help prevent the dispute from escalating while ensuring that affected students receive clarity about their academic future.
