JNU: No new changes made in scholarship

New Delhi, April 9: Countering the accusation of linking fellowship with the mess dues, the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Monday said that the clause which says pending mess dues will be deducted from the fellowship/scholarship amount is not new and that no new change has been made in the fellowship form.

A message has been spread on social media that a new fellowship/scholarship form has incorporated a change i.e. linking mess dues with fellowship/scholarship and saying that the mess dues will be directly deducted from the fellowship/scholarship.

"Actually, this provision has already been on the fellowship/scholarship form and there is no alteration of this condition...," the varsity Finance Officer said in a note.
