Students of the National Institute of Technology, Nagaland have submitted a petition asking for the dismissal of the institute's director and registrar within a month, citing administrative grievances.
A group of students at NIT Nagaland has formally requested the removal of the institute's director and registrar, setting a deadline of 30 days for the action. The petition, submitted to the institute's governing body, alleges lapses in administration and a lack of transparency in decision‑making processes.
According to the students, these leadership shortcomings have adversely affected academic activities, examinations and campus life. They have called for an independent inquiry to assess the conduct of the director and registrar and to recommend corrective measures.
The institute's management has not yet issued a public response. Stakeholders, including faculty and alumni, are expected to weigh in as the deadline approaches, and the matter may attract attention from the Ministry of Education if the demands are not addressed promptly.
The development adds to growing unrest in several Indian higher‑education institutions where students are increasingly vocal about governance issues.
