One of the students dismissed is JNUSU president Sai Balaji, infamous for his open letter to the PM for the protection of the rights and interests of JNU. When asked about his opinion on JNUEE 2019, Balaji said, “What nature of public entity is the NTA? It’s not registered as one and it outsources the administration of the exam to other private bodies. How can we then trust its accountability? There were instances when the students claimed certain answers as wrong in the answer key issued after the examination, and yet the NTA did not make any changes to it.”
