Brothers in arms: DBS students protesting against the college administration. They are demanding a refund of feesu00a0File pic |
As the students were protesting against Delhi Business School, they were summoned by the college authority to negotiate.
"As we were protesting, we received a call from the police station asking us to halt out protest as we had not obtained an approval from the concerned authority. Later, we were called to the police station where we found the college director sitting with a police official," said Mukesh Sharma, a student of Hospital Management.
"Some of us were asked to come forward for negotiations. However, there was no outcome of the talks. The police official asked us to return the next day," Sharma said.
However, when the students went to the police station the next day, they were asked to meet on Monday.
Meanwhile, College Director Divya Rajput initially refused to comment on the developments. Later she sent an SMS, which read: "The college wants the students to resume classes and obtain a valid certificate and degree. We are ready to teach them."
The story so far...
In a police complaint filed on June 10, the students of the 2008-2010 batch stated that at the time of admission they were informed DBS was affiliated to EIILM (Eastern Institute for Integrated Learning in Management) and they would be given post-graduate degrees from that university. Later, an RTI petition revealed that instead of the promised regular graduate degrees, they would be getting degrees in distance education from a university that was not authorised to open centres or study units outside Sikkim. The students had been demanding a refund of fees.
