New Delhi, November 19: The protest by students in Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University continued unabated today, on Tuesday as well. The protest in India's premier educational institution began ever since the administration announced the revised rates which increases the hostel rates and mess charges among other issues. The intense protest gives little sign of ending anytime soon and the students are demanding a complete rollback of the increased fees.

The agitation by JNU students is only one of the protests that have taken place this year. Various student bodies in several universities of India have held protest over the decision of government or against the administration.

1. Jawaharlal Nehru University

The students have been protesting for over two weeks over recent hostel fee hike. The protesters took out the march around noon today, on Tuesday.

However, the protest turned violent after the Minister got into an altercation with some arguing students and was mistreated at the campus.

4. Aligarh Muslim University
