Demand for admission in PhD from entrance exam

JNUSU said in its statement, “Madam VC retreated from her promise. The Vice Chancellor of JNU deliberately ignored the opinion of the Dean and Special Centers of the schools, who gave opinion in favor of JNUEE with an overwhelming majority.” Talking to PTI, JNUSU President Nitish Kumar said, “We want the admission in PhD to be through the entrance examination, not only on the basis of UGC-NET. It is a very old demand.”
