This year, the election atmosphere intensified with notable realignments among student factions. The well-established United Left faction has fractured, prompting the creation of new alliances that have shifted the electoral landscape dramatically.

Key alliances include the All India Students' Association partnering with the Democratic Students' Federation, while the Students' Federation of India has aligned with three other groups: Birsa Ambedkar Phule Students' Association, All India Students' Federation, and Progressive Students' Association. Meanwhile, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad has introduced a full slate of candidates to compete for leadership roles.
