IIT Kharagpur faculty to go on hunger strike, if new JEE is not rolled back


The opposition for the new common entrance examination seems to be only getting stronger by the day,reportedly now IIT Kharagpur Teachers association has threatened to go on hunger strike if the Government does not roll back the new JEE.

“All the teachers who attended the May 2 senate meeting opposed the move. Following this, a special senate meeting was called on May 3, where non-senate member teachers participated. But, then, our director told us he could do nothing, since he had already forwarded the minutes of the May 2 senate meeting, stating that IIT-KGP agreed to the proposal” Said Faculty Association General Secretary Proshanta Guha.

Amid all the opposition from all the old IITs government is reportedly working on a new formula, reportedly government wants to end the controversy soon and is considering various options for the same.
