Bengaluru: Three students who have reported to women's PU College for practical exams were allegedly denied entry on Monday.
Among the six students who have approached the Karnataka High Court over the hijab row, three are studying in the science stream in Class 12, according to Indian Express.
"I went to college to submit my practical record book and to attend the physics practical exam, but the lecturer told me that she will accept the book only if I remove my hijab. Then she sent me to the principal's chamber where he threatened to file a police complaint," one student was quoted as saying.
"The practical examination, including internals, is for 30 marks and the written examination will be for 70 marks. If we do not attend practicals, it means we will be ineligible to attend the written examinations," she added.
