JAIPUR —The Mewar University in Rajasthan’s Chittorgarh district has suspended 33 final-year BSc. Nursing students, including 30 from Kashmir, triggering protests on the campus, police officials said on Thursday.
The students allege that their nursing course is not recognised by the Rajasthan Nursing Council (RNC) and the Indian Nursing Council (INC), putting their degrees and future careers at risk.
The suspended students have been on strike since Wednesday, demanding immediate clarification on accreditation or transfer to a recognised institution.
They accuse the university management of “playing with their future” by enrolling them in a course without valid recognition.
According to the police, protests began on Wednesday and continued on Thursday.
He said that the students are protesting peacefully and police personnel are deployed to maintain law and order.
No formal complaint has been lodged by either side so far.
Six General Nursing and Midwifery students from the Mewar University were also suspended amid the agitation.
Gangrar police Station House Officer (SHO), Shyama Ram, confirmed to IANS that all India students, including Kashmiri students, are protesting at the site.
