Chandigarh College Elections See Lower Participation and No Women Candidates for PUCSC President
Student council elections across Chandigarh's colleges have seen reduced participation and subdued campaigning, especially in women's colleges where restrictions limit outreach. Notably, no women are contesting the Panjab University Campus Students Council president's post for the first time in 11 years. Overall, 76 candidates are contesting across eight colleges, down from previous years, with some colleges witnessing unopposed elections or cancellations due to attendance-related disqualifications. Students and college officials cite factors like early election announcements and strict rules as influencing these trends.
