IISER Mohali withdraws admission by-laws amid student concerns

IISER Mohali withdraws admission by-laws amid student concerns

The Indian Express reports that IISER Mohali has withdrawn its admission by-laws following student concerns over the inclusion of an undertaking that prohibited participation in protests or agitations on campus. The institute claimed that all documents signed under these provisions were cancelled, and a committee was established to draft a new document outlining students' rights, privileges, and responsibilities.

However, the controversy remains unresolved as students seek clarity on the authorization of the undertaking and demand an independent safety audit of campus infrastructure, including a lift accident that resulted in a death.
