India's 2nd best university JNU has 12% dropout rate
The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), which was ranked the second best university by Human Resource Development Ministry, has an average dropout rate of 12% a year, reports based on university data said. Of over 2,400 students admitted in academic session 2016-17, 201 dropped out. Vice-Chancellor Jagadesh Kumar said that perhaps the "academic pressure" was forcing the students to dropout.
