The students who are pursuing UG and PG courses at mid semester levels will be evaluated internally based on their academic performance along with the marks scored during the previous semester or year.

Dear Bro...
Being a Muslim, lets not drag the Issue much. Yes we all agree it is a criminal act of couple of men who want to disturb the peace in society. We as muslims, try our best to teach them islamic way of handling it. Do u know the Hadees of where a Yahudi is given shelter in the mosque by Rasool ( S.A. ) and the next day morning, he urinated in Masjid and went. But our Rasool S.A. asked sahaba to clean the floor by pouring water on them and asked not to harm the yahudi who urinated there. Lets be the followers of this Great Rasool and lets not make fitna in the society just becoz few are doing some crime.
The place called SULIA is the second HQ of criminal RSS. Dept must trap thier all telecom round the clock and smash this evil from the base. Due to last weeks criminal goonda giri TWO innocents lost their life and whole Mangloreans still with that pain. Beside these desh drohi still stick with their anti communal activity. Now they will create more and more by sponsored goonda giri. SInce the State Govt and our Police Dept are with thier strict action these criminals never succeed much. Public must catch and puch from top to bottom first and hand over to police.
The main culprits behind this are our elected TWO criminal back ground politicians.
