Students of West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences (WBNUJS), Kolkata, sported black bands on their arms during classes as a mark of protest to demand the resignation of Vice-Chancellor Prof Nirmal Kanti Chakrabarti.
The move followed after students held protests for over 20 hours since Saturday to press for the same demand that Chakrabarti must resign and a search committee be formed to appoint a new VC by October 31.
The students threatened to intensify the stir if the demands are not met by the end of October.
"After holding protests from Saturday till Sunday morning before the VC demanding his ouster, we have been attending classes from Monday (September 22) but sporting black bands on our arms.
"Some of us are standing for the entire duration in the classroom when lectures continue without disrupting the teaching," a member of the Student Juridical Association said on Tuesday.
