The protest participated by a huge number of students started from the University Central Library and planned to end in the VC’s chamber in the Administration Block. However, when they learned that the VC is presently at the Kiang Nangbah Guest House, where an emergency meeting of the Academic Council (AC) was being held, students swiftly redirected their course towards the venue.

These students demand improvements in food quality, WiFi access, and infrastructure for a safer and more comfortable environment for all residents. They also demand the establishment of a dedicated library for the School of Technology (SOT), the upgradation of computer equipment in the laboratories to facilitate effective learning and research, transparency and fairness in our marking system, ensuring that every student is assessed objectively and equitably, and the termination of Rohit Prasad, who was allegedly appointed in a flimsy manner as a technical officer or senior consultant without any advertisement or due process of recruitment but unilaterally and authoritatively interviewed (online) by the Vice Chancellor.

The confrontation escalated into a war of words between the two sides; both the students and the VC expressed their concerns.

However, the VC reassured the students that every demand they had presented would be carefully considered.

The VC pledged that the university administration would diligently strive to address and meet these demands by January 2024.
