Jitender Chaudhary, Priya Dabas and Neetu Dabas bagged the posts of president, vice-president and secretary of DUSU respectively. The post of joint secretary went to Akshay Kumar of National Students Union of India (NSUI), the student wing of the Congress party.

A mere 40 per cent of the electorate had turned out Friday for polling.

Altogether, 41 students were in fray for the four posts of president, vice-president, secretary and joint secretary. A total of 11 candidates had contested for the post of DUSU president.

Last year, an ABVP-backed independent candidate had won the post of president after disqualification of official candidates of both NSUI and ABVP.
