Supreme Court to Hear Plea of Dalit Student Denied IIT Admission Over Fee Delay

On September 24, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case of a Scheduled Caste candidate who qualified for admission to IIT Dhanbad but was barred due to a delay in fee payment. The student’s counsel argued that, as the son of a daily wage worker, securing the ₹17,500 admission fee took longer than anticipated. Although the funds were arranged by 4:45 PM on the deadline of June 24, the student was unable to complete the online payment before the 5 PM cutoff.
