BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Thursday raised questions over the process of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s admission in the 1980s to IIT-Kharagpur from where he was awarded B. Tech (Hons.) degree.
In a release, Dr. Swamy cited an RTI reply he received from IIT-K to his query asking the institute to provide the basis of Mr. Kejriwal’s entry into the B.Tech programme and his All India Rank in any competitive exam such as JEE, etc. This information was not available, the institution said in the RTI reply.
The institution gave other details of Mr. Kejriwal such as his roll number in the Mechanical Engineering course and the years of study but did not provide the copy of grade sheet of subjects since it was exempted from disclosure under the transparency law.
