The practical examinations for second-year science students began at the Government Pre-University College for Girls in Udupi on February 28 with the college not allowing students to appear for the examinations wearing hijab.
The controversy over dress code spread to other colleges in Karnataka from this pre-university college after six students demanded permission to wear hijab in the classroom. As the college refused, they approached the Karnataka High Court. The final verdict of the court is awaited.
