Several students under the banner All India Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO) held a protest in front of Crawford Hall, demanding postponement of degree examination and withdrawal of examination and marks card fee hike.
Speaking on the occasion, organisation District President Chandrakala stated that according to the exam notification, the UG exams of the University of Mysore are scheduled to start from November 15, according to a report by The New Indian Express.
"However, due to lack of guest lecturers and non-appointment of lecturers, classes were not held for one-and-a-half months, resulting in incomplete syllabus coverage. Conducting exams without completing the syllabus is unscientific and stressful for students, prompting the demand for postponement," she said.
Chandrakala said that the exponential increase in graduation exam fee, with Rs 2,000 being collected from poor students seeking government degrees and students have not received semester marks cards, despite paying the mark sheet fee, which is increasing annually, stated the report by The New Indian Express.
"We demand that the additional fee be waived and marks cards be distributed to students on time. We demand the examinations should not be conducted without completing the syllabus, degree examinations should be postponed and the order to increase examination and marks card fees should be withdrawn immediately," she said.
