JAMMU: The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) lambasted Vice Chancellor of the University of Jammu for creating new norms in the selection criteria of Jammu University Entrance Test (JUET).
Speaking to media persons here on Wednesday, State General Secretary NSUI, Avijot Singh informed that the new selection criteria is totally anti-student in which selection will be made through JUET as 75 per cent on merit and 25 per cent through entrance, earlier it was 60 per cent on merit and 40 per cent through entrance. Through this decision, students having lower merit are disappointed and are against such policy framed by university authorities, he added.
