B-Ed candidates, seeking admission to Gour Banga University here, today protested outside the Vice-Chancellor's chamber in protest against steep hike in admission fee, in Malda district.
A police officer said the candidates raised slogan against pegging the admission fee at over Rs 1 lakh and squatted outside the chamber of VC Gopal Chandra Mishra.
As Mishra did not give any assurance of scaling down the fee, the students refused to budge unless being persuaded by university staff and the stalemate continued.
