Claiming that they were not allowed to take up the university practical examination for failing to pay the additional fees collected by the department, a group of students came to the Collectorate seeking the Collector’s intervention here on Monday.

Their petition said that they were final year students of science departments who were not allowed to undertake their chemistry practical in the first year. They said they had approached the Head of Department of Chemistry seeking permission to take up the practical exam in 2017-18. However, the head demanded Rs. 2,080 towards laboratory fee and other expenses and denied permission to them.

They said they had already paid the examination fee of Rs. 120 plus Rs. 80 for the practical exam. They were denied permission this year also. They were coming from very poor families and were unable to pay the money, they said and urged the Collector to intervene.
