The procedure is known as the 13-point roster system in universities. The proceedings were also adjourned in the morning over the National Register of Citizens (NRC) issue. Protests over the 13-point roster system were in the backdrop of Supreme Court's decision to uphold a 2017 Allahabad High Court judgment that ordered that each department must be considered as a unit for reservation process, instead of the university. Rajya Sabha deputy chairman Harivansh requested members to return to their seats but the protests continued. Senior SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav said that the government had not fulfilled its assurance of not appointing teachers to faculty positions as per the new roster system.
