Terminated IIT students seek Prez, PM intervention

The students have written to the prime minister. And the PMO has forwarded the matter to the HRD Ministry for “appropriate action.”  The 38 students were denied admission to the fresh semester for “bad academic record.” Professor V N Pal, an IIT-alumnus, has taken the students’ issue to the President. Pal met the President on April 1 and discussed the issue. He explained the socio-economic condition of the students and demanded reconsideration of the decision.
