JNUSU alleges bias against poor students at viva voce

Union protests outside UGC office

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) and other groups protested outside the University Grants Commission (UGC) office on Wednesday alleging that students belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes were being discriminated at the viva voce conducted during the time of admissions.

JNU had earlier denied such claims made by the students and said that the university follows a fair, transparent, and inclusive admission policy which is the foundation of its proven academic excellence.
