Security has been strengthened on the AMU campus here to deal with any possible protests by Kashmiri students in the wake of the Centre's decision to revoke some provisions of Article 370.
Over 1,000 students belonging to Kashmir Valley study in the Aligarh Muslim University.
SSP Akash Kulahari told PTI Thursday, "We are keeping a strict vigil in view of certain recent developments in the country. Security has been beefed up since Wednesday night."
RAF personnel and state police have been deployed at all sensitive points on the periphery of the campus.
Parliament on Tuesday approved a resolution abrogating special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution and a bill for splitting the state into two union territories.
Meanwhile, AMU spokesman Prof Shafay Kidwai said university authorities were taking "all necessary steps to allay concerns of Kashmiri students who are out of touch with their families for past three days following snapping of communications with the Valley".
Kidwai told PTI that while no written advisory has been issued to Kashmiri students, "they have orally been advised not to move out of the campus or travel during next few days till normal conditions return, as a precautionary measure."
