The students shouted slogans against the Higher education minister R V Deshpande and the state government, urging to take back the decision of implementing the act.

They also said that if the act is implemented then 45 per cent of engineering seats, 40 per cent of the medical seats and 35 per cent of the dental science seats from the government quota will go to private institutions and Government aided - private institutions will be left with not even a single government seat.

They also said that due to tough competition with a large number of students attempting COMED-K examinations, the students from Karnataka will be deprived of opportunities.

N Ravikumar Kshatriya Sangatana secretary, ABVP and others were present.
