What's the fuss about: JNU students, profs oppose minimum 75 per cent attendance

Deccan Chronicle  

Mumbai: February is the cruellest month for Jawaharlal Nehru University. On December 22, 2017, the Jawaharlal Nehru University Vice-Chancellor issued a circular making 75% attendance compulsory for all students, including those pursuing M.Phil and Ph.D. On January 4, 2018, students led by JNU Student Union gathered in large numbers near the administration block to meet with the Vice Chancellor and submit a memorandum against the circular. In 2016, Delhi High court had issued an order prohibiting students from protesting or holding demonstrations within 100 meters of the administration block. Bhaskar Jyoti, a research student at JNU, said “As far as undergraduate student attendance is considered, it’s fair enough but for students like us, who are pursuing M.Phil or Ph.D. which requires research, it’s unfair for us. which as an academic most of us had never heard from students,” and that two of the faculty members were “pushed.” For once, all the student bodies and the teachers are together against this circular.
