He said that education is the right of every student and university should not play with the careers of students as it can result in a mass agitation against the University.
Atul Sudan said that University should be transparent in the whole admission process. He alleges that the University is not displaying vacant seat matrix after each list. He further said that Cluster University’s online system is not displaying cutoff of various streams in different colleges neither the administration have displayed the same on the University notice board which is raising serious questions on the integrity of the university.
