JNUEE 2019: First Ever Online Examination Date Announced

There was a 12 members committee formed earlier in March 2018 which was initiated by the Vice Chancellor of the university and passed the process to change the mode of the test from subjective to objective type.

“The online examination consists of multiple choice questions [MCQs] of 70 marks each for all courses, which negates a comprehensive evaluation of analytical, writing and other skills which are so very necessary, particularly in humanities and social sciences. Not even IITs have MCQs as an exam module for social science and humanities departments,” said by the newly elected JNUSU president N. Sai Balaji.

“This mammoth online exercise, to churn out the brightest lots, will be the biggest deciding factor this year as the students' union has been vehemently opposing its implementation. It 'negates a comprehensive evaluation of analytical, writing and other skills which are so very necessary, particularly in humanities and social sciences,”said by JNUSU President.

However, JNU is the first Central University to have collaborated with the NTA to conduct its entrance exam online which is in its maiden year of authority as well. In October, the varsity had said that it is in the process of hiring a private vendor for managing the centers where the exams will be conducted.
