Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has approved a 5% reservation for the children of its teaching staff, a benefit previously available only to non-teaching employees. The decision was made by the university's executive council during a meeting on April 15, following prior approval from the academic council in March. This new policy aims to unify the benefits for both groups under a streamlined framework, similar to practices at other universities like Delhi University (DU) and Banaras Hindu University (BHU). The reservation will be effective immediately for the current admission cycle, allowing eligible faculty children's applications to be considered alongside those of non-teaching staff. However, applicants must still meet the university's eligibility criteria and qualify through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) or other national-level exams. The introduction of this quota does not compromise the merit-based admission process, which remains a critical component of JNU's admissions.
