New Delhi, June 12: The National Commission for Scheduled Castes has summoned the Director of Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, for a meeting on June 17 after students belonging to SC/ST community were asked to leave the institution for "very poor performance".

"The Director of IIT, Delhi, Prof Surendra Prasad has been asked to come for a meeting on June 17," Commission sources said.

The decision to summon the Director was taken after a complaint had been registered with the Commission by the father of one of the students who was asked to leave the institute because of "very poor performance."

The premier technical institute this year had asked 20 under-graduate students to leave the campus as their performance was found "below the required minimum level for continuation."

The IIT administration had deliberately handpicked the students from SC/ST communities to throw them out of the institute, alleged the complainant.
