JNU PhD Admissions 2022: Students, teachers criticise admission process, claim it to lacks clarity
JNU PhD Admissions 2022: Several students and teachers have claimed that the prospectus for PhD admission to the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) lacks clarity around the process and reason for the decline in the number of seats.
Students have claimed that the total number of PhD seats in JNU will decline by 32 per cent from the current academic session 2022-23 and many centres plan to fill all these seats with students selected for Junior Research Fellow (JRF), as reported by News18
The teachers and students at the varsity have also raised concerns over the lack of clarity with regard to the starting of the admission process. However, the administration was not available for any immediate response.
JNU has recently issued the PhD prospectus for the AY 2022-23, as per which the admissions will be done on the basis of merit. All those candidates seeking admission into the PhD courses will have to appear for the Computer Based Test (CBT).
However, the prospectus mentioned that there are other criteria for students to clear before being shortlisted for the next step. "It is to be noted that merely qualifying in the CBT does not entitle the candidates to be shortlisted for viva-voce examination. Shortlisting of the candidates to be called for viva-voce shall be done as per the following criteria," the prospectus mentioned.
The detailed list of conditions are now available on the official website; i.e. jnuee.jnu.ac.in. The JRF-qualified candidates will be exempted from CBT. They are required to apply separately under the JRF category. Such candidates shall be shortlisted and called directly for viva-voce.
