In the wake of ensuing Lok Sabha elections, Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) president Shakti Singh has written to Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sunil Arora, requesting him to issue advisory to all higher educational institutions across the nation, asking them to ensure that examination dates do not clash with the dates of polling.

"The youth will participate in quite a large number to vote for constituting the 17th Lok Sabha. A large proportion among these youth is studying in educational institutions across the nation and their exams are expected to tentatively start from last week of April and last up to the first week of June," read the letter submitted by the DUSU president to CEC Arora.
