Jamia Millia Islamia Requires Parental Responsibility for Students
Jamia Millia Islamia is now asking parents to promise that their children will behave well while at university.
This means parents or guardians must take responsibility for their child's actions.
This rule is new and different from other universities in Delhi.
The university says it wants to ensure students are well-behaved and accountable.
Some students worry this is a way to stop protests and limit their freedom.
This new rule follows student protests, which led the university to contact parents.
Jamia Millia Islamia requires parents/guardians of new students to take responsibility for their conduct.
This requirement is part of the admission process SOP approved in April last year.
The parental undertaking is not a common practice among Delhi's central universities.
The university is emphasizing discipline following student protests.
The university has not commented on the undertaking.
