  "account": "Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) students have ended their protest after the university set a deadline for approving and implementing the student union constitution. The university announced that elections would be held six weeks after the start of the next academic session. The Jamia Millia Islamia Students’ Union (JMISU) was dissolved in 2006 due to violent clashes and interference in administrative matters. The university administration appealed to protesting students to call off their agitation, and after considering the Lyngdoh Committee recommendations, students accepted the call and ended their protests. The Lyngdoh Committee suggested that universities should generally elect their student representatives, with nominations used as a temporary measure only. Student elections should be held annually, between six to eight weeks after the academic session begins, with the entire process completed within 10 days.",
  "summary": "Jamia Millia Islamia has set May 15, 2027, as the deadline to approve and implement its students’ union constitution, ending a protest over restoring the JMISU. Elections are planned within six weeks of the next academic session, under Lyngdoh Committee guidelines.",
