While most of the students at TISS weren’t on campus at the time of the announcement — the first-year students are busy in mandatory internships, while others have gone home for vacation — representatives of TISS students’ union and few other students met on Monday to discuss the issue. However, with little clarity on the issue, the students’ union has decided to write a letter to the authorities to clear the air. “The students are anxious, as there’s no clarity as to how the move will affect them.

TISS director Dr S Parasuraman told HT that as of now only an intimation has been given to some professors.
