JNU prides itself on a progressive admissions policy and social justice. but on the ground it is being subverted in many ways. OBC reservations were scuttled for 3 years costing 400 students their futures! Now it has become increasingly evident how across centres and categories, viva-voce marks are being used to exclude and discriminate. .
OPEN VIOLATION OF AN ORDER OF A CONSTIUTIONAL BENCH .
Admission to JNU based in two components: a written exam and then a viva. JNU allots a weightage of 30% for viva-voce. But way back in November 1980, a 5-Judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court comprising legal luminaries like .
P.N. Bhagwati, Y.V. Chandrachud (CJI}, V.R. Krishnaiyer, Syed Murtaza Fazal Ali, A.D. Koshal) had clearly said, .
We are of the view that, under the existing circumstances, allocation of more than 15% of the total marks for the oral interview would be arbitrary and unreasonable and would be liable to be struck down as constitutionally invalid" .
Why then is the JNU Administration continuing with its blatant illegality? .
WHEN WRITTEN IS REDUCED TO A QUALIFIER, VIVA BECOMES THE REAL 'JUDGE'! .
The idea of having two components to the admission process is BOTH SHOULD HAVE a complementary role in final selection. The problem comes when some people decide that the written is ONLY a qualifying mark and that admission will be determined SOLELY based on performance in the viva. Consequently, we see two kinds of situations in the admissions data, where students (cutting across categories): .
(A) .
Have an average and 'high performance in the written, but very low marks in the viva. (This pattern is particularly visible for reserved category students.) .
.
(B) .
Show average or less performance in the written, but very high marks in the viva. .
.
.
Clearly, the interview is being used to distribute subjective biases and select or reject candidates based on viva-voce .

Regardless of haw well you perform in the written exam, the viva alone will decided your entry into the university and your academic fate! .
THE STRANGE CLUSTERING OF MARKS IN THE VIVA .
A careful study of viva marks shows a strange distribution with marks clustered either between 0-5 or in the 25-30 range. In the normal course, it is expected that the majority of the students would get average marks between 10-20 with a few very good as well as few very bad performers. Clearly something is very wrong in the way students are being judged in their viva, where they are either "very good" or "very bad". The obvious explanation is that the interview board is using this bimodal marks distribution to select or reject candidates based on viva-voce alone. P.T.O. .
