The body has also taken note of the fact that the cost to challenge any question is Rs 1,000 and when there are many wrong answers in a single paper, it becomes difficult for the students to challenge. Referring to all these problems, JNUSU has requested the NTA to work on the feedback.
The students also requested that the NTA extend the date of challenging answers, removing the challenge costs and in this case answering emails and calls from students.
