A group of students staged a protest outside Jamia Millia Islamia, demanding admission in all courses through the Common University Entrance Test. The CUET was introduced last year for admission to graduate and postgraduate courses by the University Grants Commission (UGC). However, earlier this month, the JMI announced that it would stick to its own admission process.
“We are gathered here to protest against the non-adoption of CUET. When every central university has adopted it, then why there is an issue with Jamia,” a student named Ashutosh said. The protest was organized by the RSS-affiliated ABVP.
The protesting students, holding saffron flags and placards saying ‘End the admission scam’ and ‘Bring CUET’, raised slogans demanding the adoption of CUET for all courses. The students also claimed that PhD scorecards have not been given by the university yet.
