Students of the 2019–20 academic session from the Department of Al-Fiqh and Law at Islamic University have launched protests over delayed exams and results.
On Sunday, students began a sit-in in front of the department at noon, later locking its gates at 1:00 p.m. Their three demands are:
Publication of the first-semester results of the fourth year by Monday.
Completion of the second-semester exams by the end of August.
Release of the second-semester results by September 15.
While most of the university’s 36 departments have completed the honours program for the 2019–20 batch, this department has yet to publish the fourth-year first-semester results. The second-semester exams, originally scheduled for June 28, have also been postponed.
The department chair said an emergency meeting has been called to address the issue.
