The battle of the students began with the proposal of transfer of medical colleges of Safdarjung Hospital and RML Hospital from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University to Delhi University. This was met with strong opposition from the students of IP university, who stood at a strong loss of losing an advantage of the state quota for delhi students that came with the affiliation of IP university, if the said transfer took place.

"Both DU medicos as well as IP medicos constitute the total strength of medical students in Delhi.Seats should be based on merit and not on university. We demand One State One Counselling in Delhi", said Mano subhashini, Vice President, LHMC Students Union.
The students are also planning to knock on the doors of the Delhi High Court in this regard.
