Students Demand Action Against Private Law College for Admission Violations

Students from a private law college near Padanthalumoodu in the Kanniyakumari district have submitted a petition to the District Collector, alleging severe admission irregularities. The petition claims that while Dr. Ambedkar Law University sanctioned only 60 seats for the LLB course during the 2025-2026 academic year, the college administration admitted 120 students. Consequently, nearly 60 students were barred from appearing for their semester examinations after the university declined to approve their admissions. The students alleged that the college administration had assured them of examination eligibility and even filed a case against the university based on signatures obtained from the students. Although an initial court hearing allowed them to write the exam, the university successfully appealed and obtained a restraining order, citing regulatory violations by the college. During the weekly grievance redressal meeting chaired by District Collector R. Alagumeena, the affected students urged authorities to investigate the incident and take strict action against the college management. They also requested immediate intervention to safeguard their academic futures and protect the interests of their parents, highlighting the distress caused by the administrative failure.
