JNU makes attendance mandatory from Jan 2018 for 1st time
In a first, the Jawaharlal Nehru University has made attendance mandatory for regular students of all courses from the winter semester, starting January 2018. Detailed guidelines regarding the minimum attendance required to be maintained by students will be issued soon. The students' body has condemned the move, calling it "unreasonable" and said, "We do not recognise such unilateral decisions."
