On the four seats of the Management Council (MC) elections at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marahwada University on March 12, there will be a direct fight for three positions, whereas three candidates will try their luck for one seat.

There are nine candidates left in the fray for the four seats on the MC. The members will be elected through the Senate. Most of the candidates are supported by the Utkarsh Panel (UP) and Vidyapith Vikas Manch (VVM). The discussions on unopposed elections remain indecisive.
