While Prof Sonajharia Minz of the School of Computer and Systems Sciences from the 'liberals' panel will be contesting for the JNUTA president's post, Prof S Srinivasa Rao from the School of Social Sciences will represent the other panel.
Both the groups have fielded candidates for the posts of vice president (two posts), secretary, joint secretary (two posts), treasurer and school representatives.
JNUSU Joint Secretary Shubhanshu Singh said presidential candidate Sonajharia Minz represents "progressive group", while the other candidate represents the "administration".
Other varsity professors and students said that the administration has fielded candidates who are closer to them so that there would not be any dissent from the teachers body.
