The attendance of first-year students in the degree colleges was poor on Friday when the colleges were reopened for all students. One of the reasons for the poor turnout was the absence of hostel facility for fresh students.
The Departments of Social Welfare and Backward Classes Welfare have not begun the process to admit fresh students for the hostels. The government has allowed only renewal of admission of those in the second and final year of the course. Many students who take admission in city colleges are dependent on hostels for their studies. It would be difficult for them to travel every day from their place.
