Thiruvasagam, some colleges have asked students to pay Rs. 5,000 to get back their certificates on withdrawal from the college. The UGC has to take action against colleges who flout the directions.”The University Grants Commission (UGC) had recently come out with concrete guidelines on how colleges should treat a student if he were to withdraw after admission.
