JNU has thrown a veil over a two-year-old deal under which it outsourced its entrance exams to the National Testing Agency, prompting teachers and students to suspect the university has been diverting academic funds to pay the agency. Both the university and the NTA, an autonomous body set up by the central government, have stonewalled RTI applications seeking details of their deal, including the financial terms. A group of JNU teachers, who wish to remain unnamed, had filed the applications last November after the university had for months refused to reveal the terms and conditions of the deal. The JNU teachers’ association on Thursday demanded that the details be made public and alleged that the deal was not preceded by proper discussions at the academic council or the executive council.
