The students were holding placards with different slogans written against service charges and moral policing. The students claimed that they have been protesting against the fee hike and other issues for a long time but the administration has neither shown any interest in democratic dialogue nor has it shown consideration for students who will be pushed out from higher education.

Earlier on Tuesday, JNU issued another circular stating that students must complete all academic requirements in order to be able to register for next semester. “All students must complete all academic requirements, including sitting for end-semester exams and submitting their respective dissertations/thesis. Failing which the names of such students will be removed from roll list,” the circular stated.

JNU has previously issued circulars on 17, 28 and 29 November. The end semester examination will start on 12 December. “This is also to remind the M.Phil students who fail to secure a CGPA of five on completion of course work at the end of second semester will find their names automatically removed from the roll list of the University,” the circular stated further.
