Tussle between Vice-Chancellor and members of syndicate has paralysed university's functioning

- RAHUL R @Kollam

HAVING earned a bachelor's degree in social work (BSW) from Kerala University, 20-year-old Sabarinath S of Kollam applied for the MSW course at the same university. It would prepare him to serve marginalized communities—a dream he has nurtured since childhood. For the past four months, however, a cloud of uncertainty has hung over students like Sabarinath.

But the tussle between Kerala University Vice-Chancellor Mohanan Kunnummal and members of the syndicate has paralysed the university's functioning, leaving hundreds of aspirants in limbo.

The admission process for the MSW course has been stuck since the entrance exam was held on June 14. The crucial group discussion (GD) and interview stage has not been scheduled yet, raising fears that an entire academic year could be lost. Similar is the case with other postgraduate courses.
