Amid an uproar over an advisory purportedly asking students not to support ongoing student protests on social media, IIT Roorkee on Tuesday clarified that the communication was not a new directive or policy.
In a statement issued by the institute, IIT Roorkee said the communication was an internal advisory circulated among students, faculty and staff at the commencement of every academic session. It added that similar advisories are routinely issued every year in accordance with the institute's existing notified conduct rules.
