He asked them to be considerate about the vast majority of the students, who are serious about achieving academic excellence and do not want their classes to be disturbed in any manner.
The VC asked the student leaders to strictly follow the lyngdoh and PU Guidelines issued from time to time on elections. He also suggested the candidates to use the PU Radio for election campaign as it would not affect the normal academic activities of the campus.Navdeep Goyal informed the student leaders that Tents will not be allocated to students’ organisations this year. The Tents will only be allocated to candidates after the time of final withdrawal, he added.
He informed the student leaders that any candidate forcibly disturbing any class will stand disqualified from the elections. Some students’ organisations raised the issue of Open House but finally all student organisations agreed that the atmosphere was not conducive for organising the Open House.
