Sau said a team from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will also visit the university to discuss security aspects in the institute, including human surveillance.

The university authorities came under intense criticism after a 17-year-old undergraduate student of the Bengali department died a day after he fell from a second-floor balcony of the main boys' hostel on August 9. His family alleged that he was a victim of ragging and sexual abuse. West Bengal Commission for Protection of Child Rights accused the university authorities for its lapse on not installing CCTV cameras inside the campus.
