&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Rahul Gandhi&#039;s statement in the Lok Sabha that 60 per cent JNU students are from marginalised sections has drawn attention to the unique deprivation weightage offered by the university.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Highlighting the inclusive character of the university, the Congress vice-president said the parents of 40 per cent of JNU students earned less than Rs 6,000 a month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
JNU Students&#039; Union general secretary Rama Naga, who hails from Baipariguda in Odisha&#039;s Koraput district, got admission because of the weightage point the university offers students from backward regions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Many students like me could not have got admission without the deprivation point. JNU&#039;s admission policy gives opportunities to the really poor and deprived,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naga, whose father supports the family by selling bangles, graduated from Vikram Dev College in Jeypore in Koraput before applying for an MA course in JNU.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to JNU&#039;s admission policy, each district in India is divided into four quartiles. Quartile 1 includes most backward areas and quartile 2 backward areas. Quartiles 3 and 4 are relatively advanced areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Students seeking admission in JNU after completing the qualifying degree from institutions in the quartile 1 area get five weightage points. Those obtaining a degree from institutions in quartile 2 areas get three points. Girl students get five weightage points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
S. Chandrasekaran, a former coordinator (evaluation and admission) at JNU, said the policy of giving deprivation weightage had existed for more than three decades. He said no other university in India gave such weightage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every district and region in the district is assessed on the basis of criteria such as agriculture production, labour pattern and literacy, among others. The deprivation weightage does not affect the reservations for Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Classes, he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;SCs, STs and OBCs constitute about 50 per cent of the total students. Because of the deprivation criteria, I am sure another 10 per cent would be getting admission. So, 60 per cent should be marginalised sections,&amp;quot; Chandrasekaran said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The JNU Teachers&#039; Association president, Ajay Patnaik, said the university had tweaked the deprivation weightage this year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, JNU used to give weightage to students completing their last qualifying examination from institutions in backward areas. Students who had done their schooling in backward areas and then gone to a college in the state capital or in advanced districts were being ignored. The changed policy will give differential weightage to students based on their schooling, graduation and post-graduation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Now a student will get six points, the break-up being three for schooling, two for graduation and one for post-graduation from an institution in a most backward area,&amp;quot; Patnaik said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Women students will get four weightage points from this year. The weightage is added to the entrance score while selecting the students.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
C.P. Bhambri, a retired JNU teacher, said the university had always been a &amp;quot;mini-India&amp;quot; because of its affirmative admission policy. Students from all regions and all strata of society get fair representation, he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
JNU students today held a march to demand the dropping of sedition charges against Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya and others.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Rahul Gandhi&#039;s statement in the Lok Sabha that 60 per cent JNU students are from marginalised sections has drawn attention to the unique deprivation weightage offered by the university.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Highlighting the inclusive character of the university, the Congress vice-president said the parents of 40 per cent of JNU students earned less than Rs 6,000 a month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
JNU Students&#039; Union general secretary Rama Naga, who hails from Baipariguda in Odisha&#039;s Koraput district, got admission because of the weightage point the university offers students from backward regions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Many students like me could not have got admission without the deprivation point. JNU&#039;s admission policy gives opportunities to the really poor and deprived,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naga, whose father supports the family by selling bangles, graduated from Vikram Dev College in Jeypore in Koraput before applying for an MA course in JNU.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to JNU&#039;s admission policy, each district in India is divided into four quartiles. Quartile 1 includes most backward areas and quartile 2 backward areas. Quartiles 3 and 4 are relatively advanced areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Students seeking admission in JNU after completing the qualifying degree from institutions in the quartile 1 area get five weightage points. Those obtaining a degree from institutions in quartile 2 areas get three points. Girl students get five weightage points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
S. Chandrasekaran, a former coordinator (evaluation and admission) at JNU, said the policy of giving deprivation weightage had existed for more than three decades. He said no other university in India gave such weightage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every district and region in the district is assessed on the basis of criteria such as agriculture production, labour pattern and literacy, among others. The deprivation weightage does not affect the reservations for Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Classes, he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;SCs, STs and OBCs constitute about 50 per cent of the total students. Because of the deprivation criteria, I am sure another 10 per cent would be getting admission. So, 60 per cent should be marginalised sections,&amp;quot; Chandrasekaran said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The JNU Teachers&#039; Association president, Ajay Patnaik, said the university had tweaked the deprivation weightage this year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, JNU used to give weightage to students completing their last qualifying examination from institutions in backward areas. Students who had done their schooling in backward areas and then gone to a college in the state capital or in advanced districts were being ignored. The changed policy will give differential weightage to students based on their schooling, graduation and post-graduation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Now a student will get six points, the break-up being three for schooling, two for graduation and one for post-graduation from an institution in a most backward area,&amp;quot; Patnaik said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Women students will get four weightage points from this year. The weightage is added to the entrance score while selecting the students.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
C.P. Bhambri, a retired JNU teacher, said the university had always been a &amp;quot;mini-India&amp;quot; because of its affirmative admission policy. Students from all regions and all strata of society get fair representation, he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
JNU students today held a march to demand the dropping of sedition charges against Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya and others.

Quartile 1 includes most backward areas and quartile 2 backward areas. Quartiles 3 and 4 are relatively advanced areas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Students seeking admission in JNU after completing the qualifying degree from institutions in the quartile 1 area get five weightage points. Those obtaining a degree from institutions in quartile 2 areas get three points. Girl students get five weightage points.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S. Chandrasekaran, a former coordinator (evaluation and admission) at JNU, said the policy of giving deprivation weightage had existed for more than three decades. He said no other university in India gave such weightage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every district and region in the district is assessed on the basis of criteria such as agriculture production, labour pattern and literacy, among others. The deprivation weightage does not affect the reservations for Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Classes, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;SCs, STs and OBCs constitute about 50 per cent of the total students. Because of the deprivation criteria, I am sure another 10 per cent would be getting admission. So, 60 per cent should be marginalised sections,&amp;quot; Chandrasekaran said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The JNU Teachers&#039; Association president, Ajay Patnaik, said the university had tweaked the deprivation weightage this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier, JNU used to give weightage to students completing their last qualifying examination from institutions in backward areas. Students who had done their schooling in backward areas and then gone to a college in the state capital or in advanced districts were being ignored. The changed policy will give differential weightage to students based on their schooling, graduation and post-graduation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Now a student will get six points, the break-up being three for schooling, two for graduation and one for post-graduation from an institution in a most backward area,&amp;quot; Patnaik said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women students will get four weightage points from this year.

&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Rahul Gandhi&#039;s statement in the Lok Sabha that 60 per cent JNU students are from marginalised sections has drawn attention to the unique deprivation weightage offered by the university.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Highlighting the inclusive character of the university, the Congress vice-president said the parents of 40 per cent of JNU students earned less than Rs 6,000 a month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
JNU Students&#039; Union general secretary Rama Naga, who hails from Baipariguda in Odisha&#039;s Koraput district, got admission because of the weightage point the university offers students from backward regions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Many students like me could not have got admission without the deprivation point. JNU&#039;s admission policy gives opportunities to the really poor and deprived,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naga, whose father supports the family by selling bangles, graduated from Vikram Dev College in Jeypore in Koraput before applying for an MA course in JNU.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to JNU&#039;s admission policy, each district in India is divided into four quartiles. Quartile 1 includes most backward areas and quartile 2 backward areas. Quartiles 3 and 4 are relatively advanced areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Students seeking admission in JNU after completing the qualifying degree from institutions in the quartile 1 area get five weightage points. Those obtaining a degree from institutions in quartile 2 areas get three points. Girl students get five weightage points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
S. Chandrasekaran, a former coordinator (evaluation and admission) at JNU, said the policy of giving deprivation weightage had existed for more than three decades. He said no other university in India gave such weightage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every district and region in the district is assessed on the basis of criteria such as agriculture production, labour pattern and literacy, among others. The deprivation weightage does not affect the reservations for Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Classes, he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;SCs, STs and OBCs constitute about 50 per cent of the total students. Because of the deprivation criteria, I am sure another 10 per cent would be getting admission. So, 60 per cent should be marginalised sections,&amp;quot; Chandrasekaran said.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;Now a student will get six points, the break-up being three for schooling, two for graduation and one for post-graduation from an institution in a most backward area,&amp;quot; Patnaik said.&lt;br /&gt;

Women students will get four weightage points from this year. The weightage is added to the entrance score while selecting the students.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
JNU students today held a march to demand the dropping of sedition charges against Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya and others.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;Rahul Gandhi&#039;s statement in the Lok Sabha that 60 per cent JNU students are from marginalised sections has drawn attention to the unique deprivation weightage offered by the university.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Highlighting the inclusive character of the university, the Congress vice-president said the parents of 40 per cent of JNU students earned less than Rs 6,000 a month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
JNU Students&#039; Union general secretary Rama Naga, who hails from Baipariguda in Odisha&#039;s Koraput district, got admission because of the weightage point the university offers students from backward regions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Many students like me could not have got admission without the deprivation point. JNU&#039;s admission policy gives opportunities to the really poor and deprived,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naga, whose father supports the family by selling bangles, graduated from Vikram Dev College in Jeypore in Koraput before applying for an MA course in JNU.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to JNU&#039;s admission policy, each district in India is divided into four quartiles. Quartile 1 includes most backward areas and quartile 2 backward areas. Quartiles 3 and 4 are relatively advanced areas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Students seeking admission in JNU after completing the qualifying degree from institutions in the quartile 1 area get five weightage points. Those obtaining a degree from institutions in quartile 2 areas get three points. Girl students get five weightage points.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
S. Chandrasekaran, a former coordinator (evaluation and admission) at JNU, said the policy of giving deprivation weightage had existed for more than three decades. He said no other university in India gave such weightage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every district and region in the district is assessed on the basis of criteria such as agriculture production, labour pattern and literacy, among others. The deprivation weightage does not affect the reservations for Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Classes, he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;SCs, STs and OBCs constitute about 50 per cent of the total students. Because of the deprivation criteria, I am sure another 10 per cent would be getting admission. So, 60 per cent should be marginalised sections,&amp;quot; Chandrasekaran said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The JNU Teachers&#039; Association president, Ajay Patnaik, said the university had tweaked the deprivation weightage this year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Earlier, JNU used to give weightage to students completing their last qualifying examination from institutions in backward areas. Students who had done their schooling in backward areas and then gone to a college in the state capital or in advanced districts were being ignored. The changed policy will give differential weightage to students based on their schooling, graduation and post-graduation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Now a student will get six points, the break-up being three for schooling, two for graduation and one for post-graduation from an institution in a most backward area,&amp;quot; Patnaik said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Women students will get four weightage points from this year. The weightage is added to the entrance score while selecting the students.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

JNU&#039;s admission policy gives opportunities to the really poor and deprived,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naga, whose father supports the family by selling bangles, graduated from Vikram Dev College in Jeypore in Koraput before applying for an MA course in JNU.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to JNU&#039;s admission policy, each district in India is divided into four quartiles. Quartile 1 includes most backward areas and quartile 2 backward areas. Quartiles 3 and 4 are relatively advanced areas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Students seeking admission in JNU after completing the qualifying degree from institutions in the quartile 1 area get five weightage points. Those obtaining a degree from institutions in quartile 2 areas get three points. Girl students get five weightage points.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S. Chandrasekaran, a former coordinator (evaluation and admission) at JNU, said the policy of giving deprivation weightage had existed for more than three decades. He said no other university in India gave such weightage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every district and region in the district is assessed on the basis of criteria such as agriculture production, labour pattern and literacy, among others. The deprivation weightage does not affect the reservations for Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Classes, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;SCs, STs and OBCs constitute about 50 per cent of the total students. Because of the deprivation criteria, I am sure another 10 per cent would be getting admission. So, 60 per cent should be marginalised sections,&amp;quot; Chandrasekaran said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The JNU Teachers&#039; Association president, Ajay Patnaik, said the university had tweaked the deprivation weightage this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier, JNU used to give weightage to students completing their last qualifying examination from institutions in backward areas. Students who had done their schooling in backward areas and then gone to a college in the state capital or in advanced districts were being ignored. The changed policy will give differential weightage to students based on their schooling, graduation and post-graduation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Now a student will get six points, the break-up being three for schooling, two for graduation and one for post-graduation from an institution in a most backward area,&amp;quot; Patnaik said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women students will get four weightage points from this year. The weightage is added to the entrance score while selecting the students.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C.P. Bhambri, a retired JNU teacher, said the university had always been a &amp;quot;mini-India&amp;quot; because of its affirmative admission policy.

<em>New Delhi: </em>Rahul Gandhi's statement in the Lok Sabha that 60 per cent JNU students are from marginalised sections has drawn attention to the unique deprivation weightage offered by the university.<br />
<br />
Highlighting the inclusive character of the university, the Congress vice-president said the parents of 40 per cent of JNU students earned less than Rs 6,000 a month.<br />
<br />
JNU Students' Union general secretary Rama Naga, who hails from Baipariguda in Odisha's Koraput district, got admission because of the weightage point the university offers students from backward regions.<br />
<br />
&quot;Many students like me could not have got admission without the deprivation point. JNU's admission policy gives opportunities to the really poor and deprived,&quot; he said.<br />
<br />
Naga, whose father supports the family by selling bangles, graduated from Vikram Dev College in Jeypore in Koraput before applying for an MA course in JNU.<br />
<br />
According to JNU's admission policy, each district in India is divided into four quartiles. Quartile 1 includes most backward areas and quartile 2 backward areas. Quartiles 3 and 4 are relatively advanced areas.<br />
<br />
Students seeking admission in JNU after completing the qualifying degree from institutions in the quartile 1 area get five weightage points. Those obtaining a degree from institutions in quartile 2 areas get three points. Girl students get five weightage points.<br />
<br />
S. Chandrasekaran, a former coordinator (evaluation and admission) at JNU, said the policy of giving deprivation weightage had existed for more than three decades. He said no other university in India gave such weightage.<br />

<em>New Delhi: </em>Rahul Gandhi's statement in the Lok Sabha that 60 per cent JNU students are from marginalised sections has drawn attention to the unique deprivation weightage offered by the university.<br />
<br />
Highlighting the inclusive character of the university, the Congress vice-president said the parents of 40 per cent of JNU students earned less than Rs 6,000 a month.<br />
<br />
JNU Students' Union general secretary Rama Naga, who hails from Baipariguda in Odisha's Koraput district, got admission because of the weightage point the university offers students from backward regions.<br />
<br />
&quot;Many students like me could not have got admission without the deprivation point. JNU's admission policy gives opportunities to the really poor and deprived,&quot; he said.<br />
<br />
Naga, whose father supports the family by selling bangles, graduated from Vikram Dev College in Jeypore in Koraput before applying for an MA course in JNU.<br />
<br />
According to JNU's admission policy, each district in India is divided into four quartiles. Quartile 1 includes most backward areas and quartile 2 backward areas. Quartiles 3 and 4 are relatively advanced areas.<br />
<br />
Students seeking admission in JNU after completing the qualifying degree from institutions in the quartile 1 area get five weightage points. Those obtaining a degree from institutions in quartile 2 areas get three points. Girl students get five weightage points.<br />
<br />
S. Chandrasekaran, a former coordinator (evaluation and admission) at JNU, said the policy of giving deprivation weightage had existed for more than three decades. He said no other university in India gave such weightage.<br />
<br />
Every district and region in the district is assessed on the basis of criteria such as agriculture production, labour pattern and literacy, among others. The deprivation weightage does not affect the reservations for Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Classes, he said.<br />
<br />
&quot;SCs, STs and OBCs constitute about 50 per cent of the total students. Because of the deprivation criteria, I am sure another 10 per cent would be getting admission. So, 60 per cent should be marginalised sections,&quot; Chandrasekaran said.<br />
<br />
The JNU Teachers' Association president, Ajay Patnaik, said the university had tweaked the deprivation weightage this year.<br />
<br />
Earlier, JNU used to give weightage to students completing their last qualifying examination from institutions in backward areas. Students who had done their schooling in backward areas and then gone to a college in the state capital or in advanced districts were being ignored. The changed policy will give differential weightage to students based on their schooling, graduation and post-graduation.<br />
<br />
&quot;Now a student will get six points, the break-up being three for schooling, two for graduation and one for post-graduation from an institution in a most backward area,&quot; Patnaik said.<br />
<br />
Women students will get four weightage points from this year. The weightage is added to the entrance score while selecting the students.<br />
<br />
C.P. Bhambri, a retired JNU teacher, said the university had always been a &quot;mini-India&quot; because of its affirmative admission policy. Students from all regions and all strata of society get fair representation, he added.<br />
<br />
JNU students today held a march to demand the dropping of sedition charges against Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid, Anirban Bhattacharya and others.

Weightage that sets JNU apart -Basant Kumar Mohanty

-The Telegraph New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi's statement in the Lok Sabha that 60 per cent JNU students are from marginalised sections has drawn attention to the unique deprivation weightage offered by the university.
