A day after Presidency University issued notification to hold students' union polls on November 14, a representative body of the students said on Tuesday that many would not be able to participate in the electoral process as the date would clash with mid-semseter exams.
The West Bengal government had put students' union polls on hold for over two years in four state universities.
Alleging that the university authorities did not seek the opinion of all the unions, the Independent Consolidation (IC) said in a statement, "We are not sure about the fairness and transparency of the entire election process."
The IC held a meeting on the campus on October 22 to press for its demand "for ensuring participation of all students in the electoral process."
