AMU Restores Student Union After Eight Years Amid Representation Questions; Jamia Faculty Await Association Reinstatement
Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) restored its student union after an eight-year suspension, marking a significant moment in student politics with historic elections held in November 2026. Mohammad Noman Ashraf was elected president, and Nashra Naim became the first woman vice-president. However, questions about female representation persist due to electoral guidelines limiting voting rights for women at the separate Women's College. Meanwhile, Jamia Millia Islamia awaits the reinstatement of its Teachers' Association following a court order, highlighting ongoing administrative and legal discussions about faculty representation.
