The polls for the four-member union are being conducted after a three-year hiatus, which was mandated due to the COVID-related restrictions across the nation.
In the spotlight this year are prominent organisations, including the RSS-supported Akhil Bharatiya Vishwa Parishad (ABVP), the Congress-affiliated National Students' Union of India (NSUI), the left-leaning All India Students Association (AISA), and the Students' Federation of India (SFI), who have fielded their candidates against each other.
