Delhi’s Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (IP University) has created a special Orphan Quota for admission to all of its undergraduate and postgraduate programs with the aim of expanding access to higher education. Offline applications under this quota are being accepted by the university until August 14, thus providing orphan students a special opportunity to be accepted without facing financial restrictions. 

IP University has reserved one extra place for candidates under the orphan quota in each of its thirteen institutions as well as one specialized center under the newly declared policy. This program is being started as part of the ongoing efforts of the institution to improve access to higher education for underprivileged groups. 

To be taken into account for the position of an orphaned student, candidates must submit their application forms along with a death certificate for each parent. This authorisation must come from an authorised child welfare organisation. Send applications together with a ₹2,500 bank draught payable to the Registrar, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, to the University Facility Centre on the Dwarka campus. 

Further information on the completely offline application process may be found at the university’s official websites, www.ipu.ac.in and www.ipu.admissions.nic.in. According to university officials, applicants accepted under this category would be eligible for a complete tuition fee waiver under the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) scheme. Furthermore, the institution will aim to widen the reach of some federal and state financial aid schemes in order to more efficiently support these students. 

Founded last year and hailed for its focus on promoting gender equality and educational opportunities for girls, the university’s Single Girl Child Quota is mirrored in the project. Setting aside a specific quota for orphans, the university aims to tackle another vulnerable group in society—those who are often disadvantaged in their quest of higher education because of financial constraints and a lack of support.

Vice-Chancellor Padma Shri Prof. (Dr.) Mahesh Verma said the project fits with the university’s objective of guaranteeing education for everyone, regardless of socioeconomic background. “The university aims to provide education to all, and we don’t want such children to be deprived of higher education owing to financial constraints,” he said. He also pointed out that Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University is the first state university to apply such a quota for orphan students, setting an example for other institutions to follow. 

Higher education professionals who see the step as a swift and sympathetic effort that might enable orphans in India to escape the cycle of poverty have lauded it. Studies and social welfare records show that orphaned youngsters often quit school sooner for want of money, mentoring, and emotional support. IP University hopes to remove at least the financial hurdles and provide these students with a clear path to academic and professional success by waiving fees and reserving locations. 

The quota is expected to affect a wide range of academic disciplines provided by the university, including law, management, engineering, the social sciences, education, and the humanities. Thanks to one more seat in each school and the specialized center, the total number of seats under this program will provide many opportunities for qualifying candidates without thereby decreasing the current enrollment for general category students. 

University administrators claim this special admissions policy will enable pupils financially as well as aid them in integrating into the academic and social life of the institution. The government is also considering alliances with NGOs, corporate CSR initiatives, and governmental welfare programs to guarantee that these students get all-inclusive support including mentoring, career counseling, and placement assistance. 

The choice is reflective of a wider tendency in higher education policy toward inclusivity, in which institutions are aggressively striving to identify and satisfy the particular requirements of underprivileged communities. Many institutions have adopted focused admission policies for first-generation students, underprivileged communities, and other underrepresented groups in recent years. IP University’s orphan quota is noteworthy because it is a particular policy aimed at a group mostly disregarded.
