Kashi Hindu University. Awakening
Jagran correspondent, Varanasi. The situation turned tense outside the central office of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) on Tuesday when a large number of students staged a vigorous protest against the admission policy of Central Hindu School (CHS-Girls).
During the protest, heated arguments and scuffles were also witnessed between the students and the proctorial board of the university. Heavy police force remained deployed on the spot to control the situation. The main protest of the protesting students is against reducing the number of seats for admission to class 9 of CHS to 'zero'.
Students say that closing the doors of admission to meritorious girl students is against the academic dignity of the university. Denying admission on the basis of talent is playing with the future of meritorious students. The students have demanded that either additional sections should be increased in Class-9 or selection should be done on all available seats through a transparent entrance examination. The students argue that the Class 6 entrance examination, postponed since the Corona period, should be reinstated immediately.
He says that instead of lottery system, competitive examination is the right medium to select deserving students. The protesters demanded that clear information about hostel seats available for all classes for session 2026 be made public in the official bulletin.
In view of the uproar, the security force of the university (Proctorial Board) remained active. However, there were several scuffles between students and security personnel. The students stood firm on their demands and appealed to the university administration to take immediate clarification and corrective action on this sensitive issue.
