SFI alleges JNU flouted reservation norms in PhD admissions

The Students' Federation of India has alleged that JNU's 2026-27 PhD admission prospectus did not provide the prescribed share of seats for SC, ST and disabled candidates across 711 advertised seats. Leaders including Brinda Karat said the National Commission for Scheduled Castes has given the university seven days to respond after it missed an October 23 deadline.
