Presidency agitation called off
The students, most of whom were undergraduates, kept the VC along with other officials hostage since 5 pm on Thursday.
About 10 days ago, the university said that in a break from tradition, new students may be admitted solely on the basis of their marks in their school board exams and that entrance exams, conducted by different departments of the university, will no longer be essential for judging applicants.
The protestors said abolition of the system of taking admission test will lower the standard of the prestigious institution.
