The students were also demanding release of six students who were arrested on Friday during the riot at the university office.
As reported before, the students had been demanding revision in their academic calendar claiming the exams for postgraduate students were scheduled too close to each paper giving them no time to prepare for the exams adequately. They are also demanding removal of Proctor Prasad who allegedly waved a firearm at them during the attack on the university office on Friday.
The Vice Chancellor has categorically rejected their demands saying the new calendar was designed to restore some semblance in the university that had lost its academic standard and glory because of the absence of any discipline in the academia.
