Overview

  • Polling for the Panjab University Campus Students’ Council is scheduled for September 3, with student groups stepping up rallies, debates, hostel outreach and social media drives.
  • INSO has held the general secretary seat since 2022 and is again concentrating on that post this year, naming Vishesh Dhaka as its candidate.
  • Deepak Goyat’s 2023 general secretary victory set an all-post PUCSC record with 4,431 votes and a 2,329-vote margin that has not been matched.
  • Recent president outcomes highlight shifting alignments, with NSUI’s Jatinder Singh winning in 2023 and independent Anurag Dalal taking the post in 2024 with a record 3,433 votes for that office.
  • Rival groups including NSUI, CYSS and ABVP forecast a tight general secretary contest, focusing attention on whether INSO’s streak continues or longstanding vote tallies are challenged.
