IIT Roorkee takes back all expelled students

Expelled students of Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee were taken back into the prestigious institute by the apex academic body of the institute late on Monday evening. In an emergency meeting called by the administration of IIT Roorkee, the apex academic body decided to cancel the expulsion of 72 students who have now been called back to attend their classes in the institute. 

Dean of students' welfare DK Nauriyal confirmed the decision.  He added that Udit Raj, member of Parliament from BJP, had raised the issue of expulsion of 70 students  in the lok Sabha last week. After many rounds of meeting apex body collectively decided to take back the order of expulsion and gave the students one more chance.

It may be mentioned that IIT Roorkee had expelled 72 students from the institute on July 9 as they had scored less than 5 CGPA (cumulative grade point average) in their examinations. After that students approached the Uttarakhand High Court seeking relief with two of them securing the sought relief.
