The university has also offered a mechanism of paying fees in installment for certain students. But the core concern of the student's demand was not resolved with these solutions.

“We would like to bring your attention specifically to the unconstitutional changes that have been made to the reservation policy in our university,” the students claimed.

The students alleged that an unreasonably high amount of fee was charged to students even in the time of the Global pandemic.
