Ambedkar University Revises PhD Attendance Rules Amid Student Protests Over Campus Issues
Ambedkar University Delhi revised its PhD fellowship attendance guidelines on September 30, replacing a July 31 order that had sparked student protests. The new rules require scholars to attend coursework and seminars while allowing greater flexibility, with supervisors and deans overseeing academic progress. The protests, supported by student groups like AISA, also address broader issues including campus access, facilities, faculty shortages, and student representation. The university defended its security measures amid allegations of restricted access and confrontations between students and guards.
