The NSUI is described as the world's largest progressive student union, with a membership reportedly around 4 million and a presence in 15,000 colleges across India. Varun Choudhary currently serves as the National President of the NSUI. To join the NSUI, individuals must be under 27 years old, students, Indian citizens, not affiliated with other political groups, and have no criminal convictions.
