New Delhi: The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Wednesday rebuffed media reports claiming cut in admission intake and assured the students that there is no reduction in any school, department or faculty.
“There has been no such announcement from the university. We have effected no reduction in the admission intake for students. All the news which are circulating in the media are false,” JNU Rector Chintamani Mahapatra said today.
Mahapatra was referring to media reports which claimed that the JNU administration officially announced a massive reduction in student intake in M.Phil and Ph.D courses on its website.
The media reports also claimed that the administration has released a list of tentative vacancies for M.Phil, Ph.D courses with a faculty-wise and centre-wise break-up, according to the new UGC regulations laid down by the May 5, 2016, notification.
“We haven’t made any such cuts", he said, though agreeing that a decision is pending in this matter and will be taken in near future.
