Method of Election

Students who have completed all courses in the first attempt, who have secured a minimum of 60% in Part III for Sciences and 50% in Part III for Arts and who have completed Part V (if applicable) are eligible candidates for the Student Cabinet. Students from I UG and II UG who satisfy the above norms from each department have to undergo an e-psychometric test (to test leadership skills & Social desirability). Students who get the required score in this test are eligible candidates to be elected within their departments. A minimum of five days will be given for these students to canvass and polling will take place separately for each department. II UG students who win the election will form a cabinet consisting of one student from each programme.

These cabinet members have to further undergo a Group Discussion round (GD). The GD scores are then added to the leadership skills scores to arrive at the top five who will be eligible candidates for the posts of President and Vice-President. The members of the cabinet will elect the President and Vice-President by voting for 4 candidates in the order of preference. The person with the maximum score will be the President and the second topper will be the Vice-President.

The members of the cabinet will elect two Joint-Secretaries from Aided Stream and two Joint-Secretaries from Self-Financed (SF) Stream, from among the students elected from I UG by voting for 3 candidates in the order of preference. Similarly the cabinet members will elect Games Captain and Games Vice-Captain from the panel of eligible candidates given by the Director of Physical Education.

For the posts of PG Representatives (Aided & SF), nominations have to be filed by the eligible students. An election will be conducted in which all Aided PG students will vote for a candidate from Aided stream and all SF PG students will vote for a candidate from SF stream. Treasurers (Aided & SF) will be nominated by the Principal from the Cabinet.
