India’s premier public university Jawaharlal Nehru University will be conducting its entrance exams for various undergraduate and postgraduate courses from May 27 to May 30 , 2019.

Jawaharlal Nehru Entrance Exam or JNUEE will be held in collaboration with National Testing Agency. Subsequently, JNU will be the first central university in the country to conduct its entrance exam with NTA.
The official student body of JNU currently led by United Left Alliance on March 29 announced free coaching classes for JNU aspirants gearing up to appear in the entrance exams for the upcoming academic year. Preparatory classes for BA/MA/M.Phil will be offered by volunteers willing to aid students from deprived backgrounds get into the reverend institution.

A poster released on the Facebook page of ABVP JNU mentions all the details of the scheduled classes. The caption states that the introductory session would be held on April 4 , 2019 in the School of International Studies inside the JNU campus.

It’s interesting to note that the current student union of Jawaharlal Nehru University is dominated by a cluster of left leaning parties that includes All India Student’s Association, Democratic Students Federation, Students Federation of India and All India Student’s Federation. In hindsight, ABVP’s approach to appeal students might be a valid attempt to garner a support base of the upcoming batches.
