The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union organised a protest demonstration in front of the UGC against the 150 per cent hike in the NET-JRF application fee. They were also demanding an increase in the non-NET scholarship amount and the inclusion of Korean language in NET/JRF.
“The fees has been increased from Rs.400 to Rs.1,000 for general category candidates, from Rs.200 to Rs.500 for OBC candidates and from Rs.100 to Rs.250 for SC/ST/PH candidates. This will prevent common students from applying for these exams, ” said JNUSU president Ashutosh Kumar.
