College principal Anasuya Rai said the five students had approached her with the request for TC so that they could join other colleges which permitted hijab. As the letters were found incomplete, the students were asked to produce a fresh letter with corrections. The students have not yet come back with the new letters, Rai said.
All undergraduate classes have been shifted to online as evaluation work is going on on the campus. Except for a few students, all the 44 Muslim girls studying for UG courses are attending classes, the principal said.
