As per the protesting students, the principal of the college stopped all of them from coming inside the college as they wearing hijab.

"The college principal refused to talk to us when she saw us wearing a hijab. She asked us to come in uniform but we were already wearing college uniform," Alisha, a student of BA second year, said. Following this, the female students tried to block the Meerut Road in Modinagar and raised slogans against the college management.

Meanwhile, college principal, professor Vandana Sharma, said: "Those students who were not in college uniform were denied entry and were not included in the ceremony. They will be distributed tablets after Eid."
