Overview
- Aligarh Muslim University marked 81 of 124 BA LLB finalists as detained for attendance shortfalls, which bars them from the final‑semester exams.
- Results were posted nearly four months after December exams, placing students close to the April 30 All India Bar Exam sign‑up and other job and admissions deadlines.
- Students say the faculty never shared clear attendance tallies during the term, with figures kept on loose sheets and no monthly postings on official boards or online.
- Protests inside the law faculty escalated when the proctorial team arrived, with students alleging manhandling, abuse, and intimidation during efforts to disperse the crowd.
- Detained students have appealed to the Bar Council of India and sought protection from the district magistrate, as administrators insist the move follows subject‑wise records and UGC rules while students point to a Delhi High Court order urging weekly disclosures and remedial support.
