Jamia Students Protest Alleged Irregularities in Spot Admission Process
Students at Jamia Millia Islamia have been protesting alleged irregularities in the spot admission process for the 2026-27 academic session, claiming deserving candidates were excluded due to the university's quick move to spot rounds. Multiple student organizations, including NSUI, AISA, and SFI, have held protests demanding transparency and accountability. The university suspended four students for unauthorized protests outside designated areas, while maintaining that spot rounds are dynamic and open to all eligible candidates. Protesters seek a fair inquiry and the lifting of suspensions.
