JNU to advance entrance exam date
New Delhi, Dec 26, 2016, DHNS:
The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Academic Council has approveda proposal to advance the schedule of its entrance examination.
At its recent meeting, the council also approved of a proposal to increase the entrance examination fee to be collected from the students aspiring to take admissions to the prestigious university.
While the first examination under the revised schedule has been proposed to be held in December from 2018, the increase in the entrance examination fee will be brought into effect from the entrance test to be held in May 2017, a council member said.
The Academic Council approved the two proposals at its meeting on December 23, amid stiff opposition by the Left-dominated JNU Students Union. The university holds an entrance examination for admission to its postgraduate programmes in May every year.
“Students normally complete their final semester of their respective undergraduate or postgraduate programmes by April. If JNU holds entrance examination in December, how will a student in final semester will take this examination?” JNU Students Union president Mohit said.
Since the papers are not taught in the same sequence through different semesters across the universities, JNU aspirants will be deprived of equal opportunity in such case, he underlined.
