Slug: BBA Entrance Results Vadodara: For the second consecutive day, student leaders associated with the NSUI staged a protest at the BBA building of M S University 's Faculty of Commerce, demanding transparency in the declaration of results of the BBA entrance test. As the student leaders tried to burn an effigy of the BBA programme coordinator, they were stopped by the police present at the spot. Around 15 NSUI members, including Vadodara city unit president Amar Vaghela, were detained by the police.

The student leaders who were detained said they were forced to continue their agitation as, despite an assurance by in-charge vice-chancellor Prof Dhanesh Patel, the university did not release the marks obtained by students in the entrance examination. NSUI has been demanding that to ensure transparency in the admission process, the university release individual marks of the candidates who appeared for the written test, after which they qualified for the second round of the entrance test. The protesting students said that of the nearly 2,000 applicants who appeared for the entrance, 600 were shortlisted for the second round but the results of all the students were not declared.



There are 240 seats in the BBA programme. The student outfit has also demanded that the university increase the number of seats in the BBA programme. "The limited number of seats at MSU is directly benefiting private universities," said an NSUI leader.
