JNU Exams Will Be Held As Per Schedule: Vice Chancellor
The varsity had a meeting with the office bearers of International Students' Association of JNU who had shared the problems being faced by them as their visa validity is going to expire.
Jawaharlal Nehru University Vice Chancellor, M Jagadesh Kumar, said on Thursday the exams would be happening as per schedule even though it has been boycotted by the students in protest over the hostel fee hike.
The VC said the varsity administration was open for dialogue and that the interests of bonafide students was a top priority.
“The university is committed to helping the bonafide students who wish to write their exams and complete their academic requirements. The interests of bonafide students is a top priority to the university,” the VC said.
The varsity had a meeting with the office-bearers of the International Students’ Association of JNU who had shared the problems being faced by them as their visa validity is going to expire. They were assured that their situation would be looked into.
“In order to facilitate the evaluation of their courses, it’s only appropriate that an alternative evaluation process needs to be adopted,” the varsity had said on Wednesday.
For example, additional assignments/ sessional/ term papers may be given to them in lieu of term-end semester examinations, the varsity had said.
Mr Kumar said the university had always encouraged dialogue and discussion and would continue to do it.
On being asked whether the varsity would hold a dialogue with the protesting students, he told PTI that “any student is welcome for a dialogue with JNU administration”.
