The Karnataka Government has categorically ruled out holding re-exams for those who skipped them on account of the hijab row.
Following the interim order of the Karnataka High Court that banned hijab and saffron shawl in colleges where uniforms are prescribed, several Muslim girl students boycotted classes across Karnataka. Many science students had skipped the practical exams hoping the final verdict of the High Court would be in their favour, which did not turn out to be the case.
