A second-year engineering student was barred from taking her exam because of unpaid college fees, a report said in this paper. A student of the Artificial Intelligence and Data Science programme at a Chembur college, was reportedly denied entry despite her father’s requests for assistance under the ‘Mulina Mofat Shikshan Yojana’.

He stated that he provided the necessary documentation for her to avail of benefits under the scheme, but the college refused to accept it. Things came to a head and finally a political party intervened with the student being allowed to take the exam.
