We had &#8220;a full batch of M Tech students who passed out amid the pandemic without attending classes&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>There are also issues of acceptance, culture shock and pressure to prove for students from backward communities, besides complaints of discrimination on the basis of caste.
