Visva Bharati: Online admission suspended

KOLKATA: Online admission to Visva Bharati University has been suspended for an indefinite period in view of the agitation by the students.

"But, how is his attending office connected with the online admission," they questioned.

The VB authorities did not specify any cause. Even the order issued by the authorities did not carry anyone's signature.
