Srinagar, Dec 06: Students of Cluster University Srinagar staged a protest within the university campus, raising serious concerns over recent academic issues related to the first and fifth semesters, which they said have disrupted their studies and created widespread uncertainty.
Protesting students said sudden academic decisions, coupled with a lack of clear communication from the administration, have adversely affected their academic progress. They alleged that changes were introduced without adequate notice or explanation, leaving students confused about examinations, coursework and academic timelines.
The students assembled at the campus and voiced their demands for fair and student-centric academic decision-making. They called for transparency and accountability in the functioning of the university administration and stressed that student concerns must be addressed through proper consultation rather than unilateral decisions.
Several protesters said the absence of timely clarifications has heightened anxiety among students, particularly those appearing in key semesters that have a bearing on future academic prospects. They warned that continued ambiguity could cause irreparable academic loss if not resolved promptly.
The protest remained peaceful, with students urging the authorities to engage in constructive dialogue and issue clear notifications to resolve the issues at the earliest. (KNT)
