Students at KJ Somaya College of Engineering in Mumbai were October 23 not allowed to take a test because they came dressed in T shirts, says a CNN-IBN report.
The college management, however, contends that the issue has been blown out of proportion. "Some students were suspended and these reports are false," says Principal, K J Somaya College, Raj Kishore Prasad. [Link]
Some recent college-related incidents:
- In September 2005, Avinash Nahar, a student at a Chennai college was harassed for wearing a dark T-shirt instead of light-coloured shirts prescribed by the college.
- The same month, the Orissa government banned students from wearing jeans to college.
- In February 2006, Farah Khanum, a student of the Aligarh Muslim University received death threats for wearing T-shirts to college.
