    The protesting students stated that if students remain absent for three days, their attendance will drop below 85%, resulting in the university preparing to impose a fine of ₹10,000. This has caused widespread anger among the students.

    Protest over holidays on Christian festivals but not on Hindu festivals

    Meanwhile, students affiliated with the ABVP also took charge of the university gate and staged a sit-in protest. ABVP activists alleged that Christ University grants 10 days off for Christian festivals, but does not grant even a single day off for Hindu Sanatan festivals. This reflects an anti-Hindu mentality.

    They also stated that the university deliberately invited the placement company on the day of the Chhath festival so that students from Purvanchal would be excluded from the process and Christian students would benefit. The students are demanding that the university declare the day a holiday, consider absent students present, and grant leave on Hindu festivals in the future.

    According to sources, an internal committee of the university administration is considering the students’ demands, but no formal decision has been taken yet. Currently, tension and confusion prevails on the university campus.
