The MA students who were admitted in 2020 had said that they felt discriminated against and their dream of equality has been destroyed by the online mode of teaching that they have experienced so far. "The students of the 2020 batch, especially those in MA, need an assurance that they will be called to the campus and that an initiative towards hostel allotment and offline classes will be taken by the administration. For the past many months now, these promises have only been broken, and the sit-in at the DOS is going to continue until the authorities concede to our demands through a written circular. It's high time the authorities accepted that online mode of education is not sustainable and is further marginalising and excluding students from accessing education across the country," said Apeksha Priyadarshini, a JNUSU Councillor and member of the Bhagat Singh Ambedkar Students' Organisation (BASO).
