New Delhi: The Congress-affiliated National Students' Union of India on Saturday said it will protest against the implementation of the Central Universities Common Entrance Test (CUCET).
"The authorities have not accommodated the opinions of students and teachers before imposing this decision on universities. The universities will lose their autonomy under this new entrance system. Also, it is anti-poor students as they won't be able to afford expensive coaching classes," NSUI national president Neeraj Kundan said in a statement.
