Jesus and Mary College Discontinues NCWEB Teaching Centre; Current Students Shifted to Deshbandhu College Centre

By

Jesus and Mary College has announced the discontinuation of their NCWEB teaching centre from the academic session 2025–2026. The current students and new admissions are being shifted to Deshbandhu College, leading to disapproval among students regarding the sudden change.

On the morning of 11th July, NCWEB students of Jesus and Mary College were sent a notice via the official WhatsApp group, informing them about the discontinuation of the NCWEB centre from the academic session 2025–2026 onwards. New admissions and current students are now being shifted to Deshbandhu College instead. The news of the discontinuation has been met with displeasure and confusion by both students and parents, which has only been further fuelled by the silence of Jesus and Mary’s faculty. Upon enquiring with the president of the Jesus and Mary College NCWEB student body, Vidhi Choudhary, several problems regarding the change came to light.

According to Vidhi, who represents the concerns of many students, the decision has been taken with no prior notice or consultation. Students who were supposed to continue their fourth year from JMC as their centre, now feel stuck. With the CUET already behind them, and the new admissions who chose JMC according to their preference feel betrayed. Parents are also unhappy with the shift to a co-ed college. Deshbandhu is far from the residences of many students, affecting the sense of security and comfort that once came with JMC.

Vidhi further explained,

 Our principal is not responding to any of our concerns; the faculty is silent too. I have been bombarded with calls from parents worried about the co-ed shift. I fear that if this change occurs, it will lead to a significant number of students dropping out. Our college, which we chose based on merit and preference—considering safety, family, and future—has suddenly been turned upside down. Our graduation degree will now be under Deshbandhu College, where we will only attend for one year. How is any of this fair? If JMC was not equipped to handle NCWEB, then why not shift us to another all-women’s college? All we ask for is consultation and consideration.”

An official meeting between the president of NCWEB and the Vice Chancellor of the University of Delhi, Yogesh Singh, has been arranged in the coming week, as suggested by both JMC and Deshbandhu’s faculty upon requests for resolution.
