Presidency University registrar under gherao

Kolkata: A group of students of Presidency University has gheraoed the varsity's registrar demanding greater transparency in the admission process.

The protests began last night after a meeting with Registrar Debojyoti Konar, with the students demanding that the merit list of candidates for undergraduate and postgraduate courses be made public.

"The joint entrance board will take care of the majority of their demands. We have assured them of looking into their other demands also," Konar told PTI.

Konar said he was constantly talking to the students to convince them.
