An international student from India completing his PhD in New Zealand is begging to be let back into his course as he faces deportation following the termination of his enrolment.
Prithwish Sain, a University of Waikato chemistry student who has spent more than $200,000 to study here, said he was due to finish by the end of the year.
His enrolment has been terminated following a complete relationship breakdown between himself and his PhD supervisor, for whom he has since laid a series of complaints over.
These include bullying and harassment, accusations of theft and the misuse of Sain s research data.
