Delhi -based Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is once again at the center of dispute between students and administration. This time the issue is demanding to bring back the university entrance examination (JNUEE). JNU Students’ Union (JNUSU) has intensified its movement on this demand.
Students demand that the university should conduct entrance examination by itself instead of Common University Entrance Test (CUET). Students believe that JNU’s own JNUEE (JNUEE) was more justified and transparent, in which social diversity and ideological diversity were respected.
On May 24, a referendum was held by the Students’ Union on this issue, in which about 93 percent of the students voted in support of JNUEE. That is, a large number of students want the admission process to be the same.
Students’ Union President Nitish Kumar informed that he has tried to meet the Vice Chancellor on this issue many times, but every time some conditions come from the administration. Recently, the Vice Chancellor’s office made a condition through email that the meeting will be held only when the four officials of the students’ union are present. But Nitish Kumar made it clear that the referendum was done with the consent of the president, vice -president and general secretary, the Joint Secretary (ABVP representative) had no role in this.
Students say that if Hyderabad University and other central universities can conduct their respective entrance examinations successfully, then why can’t JNU do this? He argues that the structure of an examination like CUET does not take into consideration the uniqueness of an institute like JNU. JNUSU is now busy in gathering support by going to every corner offices, departments and hostels of the university. Discussions are being organized, so that more and more students can join this campaign.
What to say about the student union?
So far there has been no concrete response from the administration to this demand. But the students’ union says that they are not going to retreat and the movement will continue till JNUEE is restored. Overall, this matter is now not only about the examination system, but has also been related to the autonomy of the university and the right to student participation. This movement can be intensified in the coming days.
