Due to non-payment of fees, the management of Dilkap College of Engineering, Karjat, had debarred 50 students from appearing for the exams. However, the matter was reported to the senate members of Mumbai University and resolved within 10 minutes. The students were allowed to appear for the exam after DTE officials directed the college management.
The senate members Pradeep Sawant and Rajan Kolambekar wrote to the minister of higher education and DTE. “We immediately reported this to the DTE and the Minister of Higher and Technical Education Uday Samant. How can the college management stop students from appearing for their exams and ask them to leave halfway? There are other ways to deal with the issue,” said Pradeep Sawant, university senate member.
Director of DTE, Dr Abhay Wagh said, “The matter pertaining to examination is under the university, however, since this was an urgent issue reported to us by the senate members, we acted quickly. The joint director spoke to the management and within 10 minutes students were allowed to appear for the exam.”
