Cusat students seek to improve campus facilities
According to SFI unit president Mohammed Muhsin, demands were made after campaigning in classrooms and seeking responses from students about their needs.
Demands included standardizing hostel fees across campus at Rs 320 and filling vacancies by appointing permanent faculty members and lab assistants in various departments. They also demanded an immediate stop to collection of additional university fees for National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) courses beyond regular fees paid by students.
Other demands included urgent repairs to dilapidated campus roads, restoring non-functional equipment in departments such as biotechnology and school of engineering (SOE) and ensuring revaluation results are announced before supplementary examinations. Students also sought early access to open-air auditorium and provision of Wi-Fi in all hostels.
Pointing to delays in issuing provisional certificates, SFI said this was causing difficulties for students seeking higher education and urged timely issuance. They also demanded that hostel allotment system revert to earlier method where students had more choice and called for installation of lifts and ramps at SOE to make campus disabled-friendly.
Students have also sought removal of fines imposed on students who visit other hostels for academic purposes. "We have also submitted the demands before university registrar for urgent consideration," said Muhsin.
