Panjab University Student Elections Marked by Protests and Candidate Scrutiny
Nominations for the Panjab University Campus Students Council elections concluded amid protests by the Students Organisation of India (SOI) over the rejection of their presidential candidate's nomination due to attendance issues. The university has delayed releasing the final candidate list pending scrutiny and withdrawals. Campaigning has intensified, with alliances forming and shows of strength across departments. Notably, no candidate from the University Institute of Engineering and Technology is contesting office-bearer posts for the first time in over 15 years, despite its large voter base.
