JAMMU, May 20: National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) today opposed the new selection criteria through JUET in University of Jammu (JU).
Addressing a press conference here today, State general secretary, NSUI, Avijot Singh, informed that the new selection criteria is totally “anti-students” in which selection through JUET will be based on 75 percent on merit and 25 percent through entrance. Earlier, it was 60 percent on merit and 40 percent through entrance.
“Through this decision, hard working students having lower merit are disappointed and are against such policy framed by university authorities”, he said and categorically slammed the VC for changing the norms and hike in late fee, claiming that earlier late fee per day was 50 rupees but now the student has to pay 3800 rupees whether he gets delayed for 1 or 15 days, it is the same.
Asserting that NSUI will not tolerate injustice with students, he threatened of continuous agitation from May 22 if such norms are not revoked immediately. He appealed the students to join the agitation for the genuine cause.
