``UGC NET, CUET UG results jeopardised academic calendar `` JNU VC
The cancellation of UGC-NET exams and delay in CUET UG result announcement have jeopardized Jawaharlal Nehru University's (JNU) academic calendars, said Vice Chancellor Santishree D Pandit on July 19.
Speaking to ANI, Santishree denied reports that the university will shorten winter break and hold extra classes given delayed admission, stating that no decision has been taken in this regard.
JNU Vice-Chancellor Prof. Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit said, “I hope that UGC NET and CUET UG results come fast because that has jeopardised our academic calendar so we will have three different Academy calendars, one for the Masters, one for the UG and one for the PhD. And JNU is a bottom-up approach. So it is the chairpersons, the deans who will decide how they will run these semesters," she added.
Prof. Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit also shared her expectations from Budget 2024, expressing optimism based on the government's emphasis on entrepreneurship, innovation, and inclusivity. She stressed that investing in education is crucial for India to become a knowledge powerhouse.
