How long will they serve
According to the memo, the members were declared elected under Statute 14(1)(xxx)(b) of the University Statutes, read with Chapter XV of the Ordinances (Executive). Under Statute 14(4), they will hold office for one year from 12 November 2026, or for as long as they remain students of the university, whichever is earlier. So a member who completes the course or leaves AMU before November 2027 will lose the seat.
