As per UGC regulations, aspirants will have to score 50% marks in the entrance test to be eligible for the admission. Many aspirants blamed the new admission regulations because of which many of them have failed in the exam. Earlier, there were deprivation points and other benefits for reserved and PwD category students. Due to the absence of these benefits, it is difficult for the aspirants to clear the entrance test with 50% score.
A senior professor of Hindi Department at JNU revealed that there is no clarity whether the four students who cleared the entrance test would be able to get admission. These four students will have to clear the interview process , which is also tough as per the new UGC guidelines . The interview will be conducted for 100 marks, he added.
