IIT Bombay Students End 57-Day Protest After Administration Assurances
Students at IIT Bombay ended their 57-day sit-in protest following assurances from the institute's administration to address their grievances, including accountability and improved student grievance mechanisms. The protest began after the death of a second-year student in September.

Students received back most confiscated belongings and held a victory march, while pledging to continue advocating against injustice.
