Hyderabad: A team of students from the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, visited the Maulana Azad National Urdu University on Monday to conduct meetings with students of MANUU to sensitise them about the protests being conducted in New Delhi over scrapping of the Non-National Eligibility Test (non-NET) fellowships by UGC.
