The university has also asked students protesting over the issue to withdraw their agitation immediately.
The decision was communicated through an official order issued by the university, which students cited while sharing details of the development.
According to the order, the competent authority examined a request submitted by the students and subsequently issued directions concerning the implementation of the Jamia Millia Islamia Students' Union (JMISU) constitution.
Students celebrate at Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) as the university agrees to finalise and approve the students’ union constitution by May 15, 2027, with elections to be held within six weeks of the next academic session’s commencement. A victory for sustained student resistance! ✊

University sets deadline for implementation
The approval marks a significant development in the ongoing dispute over the restoration and implementation of the students' union framework at the university.
By setting May 15, 2027, as the deadline, the administration has laid down a timeline for completing the process.
However, the available details do not specify the individual steps or arrangements that will be undertaken before the deadline.
Students asked to call off protest
Alongside approving the implementation process, the university has directed the protesting students to end their agitation immediately.
The order follows a request letter submitted by students seeking action on the students' union constitution.
The university's directive is likely to be a key development in the ongoing standoff between the administration and students campaigning for the implementation of the union framework.
Further details regarding the next steps, including the process and schedule for implementation, are awaited.
