Classes were not conducted and hostels could not be operated during the pandemic. To ensure that students do not suffer any burden, the government on humanitarian grounds decided to waive off 40 per cent fee.

Following students’ complaints that they were not being given their certificates citing delay in release of scholarships, the Education Minister directed university officials to issue certificates of students without any delay.

Meanwhile, RGUKT-Basar Vice Chancellor, Prof. V Venkata Ramana said the university’s disciplinary committee would meet on Monday to decide on action to be taken on second-year students who ragged their first year students on the campus.
