CUET UG 2023: A group of students staged a protest outside Jamia Millia Islamia demanding admission in all courses through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET). The protest was organized by members of the student union group ABVP.
“We are gathered here to protest against the non-adoption of CUET. When every central university has adopted it when why is there an issue with Jamia,” a student Ashutosh told PTI.
The protesting students held placards saying ‘End the admission scam’ and ‘Bring CUET’, raising slogans demanding CUET adoption for all courses.
The students also claimed that Ph.D. scorecards had not been given by the university yet.
Earlier this month, JMI decided not to implement the CUET for admission to undergraduate and postgraduate courses except for 20 programmes, citing a lack of time to change the university rules, a senior official said Friday.
Twenty courses including B.Sc (Hons) Physics, and B.Sc. (Hons) Chemistry this year will allow admission through the CUET,10 more than the last academic year. Recently, UGC asked the JMI to implement CUET UG from the academic session 2023-24 in all courses.
