Jamia Students Defy Police and CRPF To Enter Campus

We went on the ground at Jamia Millia Islamia on 26 October 2026, as the student protest entered its 14th day.

While the university authorities had agreed to the demand for forming a student union, the students remained dissatisfied, saying other demands were yet to be fulfilled. These included revoking student suspensions and taking appropriate action against the university’s proctor.

Three of the five students who had been on hunger strike continued their protest as tensions escalated on campus. We spoke to students on the ground to understand their demands, and why the protest continued despite the administration’s assurance.
