Pharmacy Students Demand Examination Relaxation at HIMTU

Pharmacy students from Himachal Pradesh are protesting for a one-year relaxation in examination rules at HIMTU. They argue current policies are unfair to those with backlogs. The university acknowledges their plea and has sought relaxation approval from the Pharmacy Council of India based on past batch precedents.

In a show of solidarity, pharmacy students from Himachal Pradesh Technical University (HIMTU) have staged a sit-in to push for examination policy changes. They argue that current rules unfairly punish those with backlogs.
