Visva-Bharati authorities in its notification said it has temporarily suspended the admission process and publication of results, citing vice-chancellor Bidyut Chakrabarty was under “siege”, a move many dubbed an attempt to thwart the ongoing students’ protest.

The notice by the coordinator of admission coordination cell of Visva-Bharati states: “I am directed to notify that, because the Hon’ble Upacharya, Visva-Bharati is currently under siege, the admission process in various courses of Visva-Bharati cannot proceed as usual.” It adds that the VC chairs the admission committee and admission coordination cell and the admission cell “needs the physical presence” of the VC “in his office”. “Given these unfavorable circumstances... the admission process stands temporarily suspended,” it read.

Students owing allegiance to Left-backed unions, including the SFI and the Students’ Unity for New Society, have been staging an indefinite demonstration outside the Vice chancellor's home since August 27 night, urging the rustication of student leaders Somnath Sow, Falguni Pan and Rupa Chakraborty be scrapped. The three, along with others, had become faces of protest against the “whimsical” actions of the VC and his alleged bid to saffronise the campus.
