Overview

• The administration’s new postgraduate scholarship criteria restrict stipends to the top 25% of students and raise the minimum OGPA requirement from 70% to 75%.
• Nearly 20 protesters were injured when university security and police clashed with students on June 10, and female students report male officers entering their hostel.
• Students have maintained an indefinite sit-in outside Gate 4 since June 10, demanding Vice-Chancellor B. R. Kamboj’s resignation and arrests of senior officials involved in the crackdown.
• On June 17 the university announced it would suspend the contested scholarship amendments pending further review.
• Only roughly 50 of 350 scheduled students appeared for exams as the protest prompted a near-total boycott of postgraduate tests.
