The JNU students have been protesting for over three weeks against a draft hostel manual, which has provisions for a hostel fee hike, dress code and curfew timings.

The varsity's Executive Council (EC) had later announced a partial rollback in the fee but the students had dubbed it as an 'eyewash'. The EC had also removed provisions for curfew timings and dress code.

The committee will be meeting hostel presidents of the varsity in the later half of the day.

The HRD ministry had on Monday constituted the three-member committee to recommend ways to restore normal functioning of the university.

The panel includes former UGC chairman V. S. Chauhan, AICTE chairman Anil Sahasrabudhe and UGC secretary Rajnish Jain.
