Controversy
2023 Suicide
On July 17, 2023, a student committed suicide by jumping off the eighth floor of a building on the university campus.
In response, the university released a statement refuting the charges of harassment and against their policy on malpractice during examinations. Expressing regret, the statement claimed that Aditya was escorted for carrying a mobile phone with material related to the examination and that he was counselled to stay calm and would be given the opportunity to explain his side of the story before he left the room. It went on to refute "all charges that are being made regarding the process and all the lies that are being circulated by opinions on our staff and the welfare of our students".[15][16] Three members of the faculty, who were present with Aditya were later charged with abetting suicide.[17]
