Proposal to introduce CU-CET being placed without discussions, say teachers
Jawaharlal Nehru University is considering replacing the JNU Entrance Examination conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to its various programmes with the Central Universities Common Entrance Test (CU-CET). The proposal to introduce the CU-CET, which is also held by the NTA, has been placed as an additional item on the agenda of the Academic Council meeting scheduled for Wednesday.
Students and teachers of the university, however, said that the proposal to change the entrance examination format is being placed without any deliberation and discussion with the JNU community. They also accused Vice-Chancellor M. Jagadesh Kumar of “bulldozing” the decision in the AC meeting conducted online.
