During the counting of votes, a tough contest was witnessed between ABVP and National Students Union of India (NSUI) for the post of President. In the initial trends, ABVP candidate Yash Dabas was ahead but there came a time in between when NSUI's Vijay Shankar Meena took the lead, however by the 18th round the situation had become clear and Vijay was lagging behind again. Yash Dabas said on his victory that this is the victory of students, victory of harmony, patriotism and union. This is the victory of every student who stood with us in this struggle, who remained associated with us for the last many years and stood shoulder to shoulder with us.
