Students Protest St Agnes College Exams Scheduled During Dasara Festival in Mangaluru
Students at St Agnes College in Mangaluru protested the scheduling of undergraduate semester exams during the Dasara festival, citing conflict with cultural celebrations. The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) supported the protests, which led to the detention of some activists. College officials noted the exam timetable was published in September with no initial objections, but later postponed exams on October 19 and 22. Local BJP MLAs criticized the timing, urging respect for students' sentiments, while the college appealed for peaceful cooperation.
