The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur has taken disciplinary action against seven students following their involvement in a campus altercation. This marks the first instance of student expulsions in the institute's history, with three students permanently removed and four others suspended for one semester.
Both the affected students and their parents have appealed to the institute's director, requesting a reconsideration of these decisions. Their appeals seek a withdrawal of the actions and an opportunity for the students to rectify their behavior, citing concerns about the impact on their academic and professional futures.
