Imphal, November 16 2023:
Highlighting problems faced in admission process, a large number of students staged a protest in front of the office gate of Vice Chancellor of Manipur University on Thursday.
The students, who have been selected to study at MU, held placards inscribed with slogans like 'Save students' future", "We condemn MU's act of disrupting academic calendar" during the protest demonstration.
Speaking on the sidelines, one of the students named Nongmaithem Alvin pointed out that while other universities have concluded the admission process for first semester students, MU is yet to.
commence the process for students selected for admission to different MA and MSc courses thereby affecting the academic career of the students.
Urging the MU authority to follow the UGC norms in selecting students for admission to first semester, he demanded completion of the admission process at the earliest.
MU's lackadaisical attitude on the matter is affecting the graduate students, he said, while cautioning of launching intense protests in case the authority fails to act.
