The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the RSS, has asked the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) to re-link the MPhil and PhD programmes for current students at the university, keeping in mind the complications arising out of the National Education Policy (NEP). Now, in the NEP, the MPhil programme has been scrapped altogether. “The National Education Policy, 2020 has introduced unprecedented reforms in the school and higher educational system. “Due to Covid-19 pandemic and a subsequent introduction of National Education Policy, 2020, a peculiar situation has arisen because of which we request re-linking of MPhil-PhD for the batches: 2019-21, 2020-22. ABVP said the “re-linking would be crucial for the current MPhil students of 2019-21 and 2020-22 batches”.
