NUJS proposes British-style house system to enhance student politics NUJS Kolkata’s student body has voted to institute a new system of governance to de-politicise the campus but increase friendly intra-college competition. The decision follows fears that the Student Juridical Association (SJA) could become too politicised, with the new system intended to “promote bonding and healthy competition”, according to one student. The SJA and students therefore voted for a compromise that would replace the SJA with a system of four representatives from the student body. Instead of voting for one SJA, students would be allocated into one of four houses, in a system that is popular in schools in the UK and also in the fictional Hogwarts school of Harry Potter fame.
