The protest ended with s submission of a memorandum to the dean of Student Welfare. The memorandum included demands such as roll back of FYUP, fee hike must be stopped, scrap compulsory Hindi test, add English to AEC options and stop dilution of syllabus.
Students concluded the protest by declaring the movement against FYUP open. Narain spoke on the corporate based model of NEP 2020, saying, "We have never witnessed such destruction of this University before. There is complete mismanagement and chaos. The only clear thing is the motive- that is to limit education only for the most privileged sections."
