Mysore/Mysuru: Demanding postponement of exams till the recruitment of teaching faculty, students of Maharaja’s Degree College near Ramaswamy Circle, staged a protest in front of Centenary Hall in the campus yesterday.

The students, who staged protest under the banner of All India Democratic Students Organisation (AIDSO), alleged that “Following the lack of adequate teaching faculty even after a month since the new academic year began, the classes are not being conducted regularly with a portion of syllabus remaining incomplete. But still the exam time-table is announced, forcing the students to prepare for the exams. In this wake, the teaching faculty must be recruited and exams be conducted only after the completion of syllabus.”

The students should be provided access to library and newspapers and drinking water arrangements should be made, besides maintaining the hygiene at toilets and cleanliness at classrooms, the protesting students demanded.

District President of AIDSO Subhash, office-bearers  Nitin, Chandrika, Beerappa and Abhi, students Puneeth, Rakshita, Siddaraju and others took part.
