IIM Nagpur Bars Over 70 MBA Students From Mid-Term Exams Over Pool Party

In a controversial decision, the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Nagpur barred over 70 MBA students from participating in mid-term examinations due to their involvement in a pool party, which reportedly violated college regulations. This action sparked significant unrest among the student body, leading to nearly 400 students staging a silent protest on campus. The protest highlighted the students' dissatisfaction with the administration's stance and raised concerns over fairness and accountability in disciplinary actions. Following discussions between the student representatives and the administration, the protest was eventually called off after the latter provided clarification regarding the situation. The incident has ignited a broader dialogue within the institute about the balance between maintaining discipline and allowing students to engage in social activities, reflecting ongoing tensions in academic governance and student rights at IIM Nagpur.
