JNU To Reinstate Deprivation Point Model For PhD Applicants: VC Santishree

Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) vice-chancellor Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit has declared her intention to bring back the most distinguishing element of the university's admissions procedure, the deprivation point scheme for Ph.D. candidates. In order to facilitate the admission of students from disadvantaged regions, notably women, the university designed a deprivation point model. Santishree said that the college is bringing back the deprivation point scheme to promote "inclusivity and equity" on campus.
