The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- IIT Madras student body ChintaBAR has alleged that institute officials asked it to delete an Instagram video supporting students protesting over exam irregularities in NEET-UG and UGC-NET, and denied permission for a peaceful campus gathering.
- According to the students, the Dean of Students said the protest could disrupt the institute's relations with the central government and tarnish its image.
- A separate student request to protest on July 20 was also turned down, though over 150 students still held a solidarity gathering at Himalaya Lawns.
- The allegations follow a similar advisory at IIT Roorkee, and IIT Madras officials did not respond to requests for comment.
What to watch next
- Whether IIT Madras officially responds to the allegations or confirms the denial of permission.
- Whether students follow up with the director on the suggested list of demands on accountability in education.
- Whether more IITs issue advisories or restrictions similar to IIT Roorkee's.
