The future of as many as 86,000 BA Part III students looms in despair, after the decision to cancel affiliation of 32 colleges. As many as 86,000 students of disaffiliated colleges of Magadh University were not allowed to appear for the degree Part-III exams scheduled to commence from October 1, in light of the Patna High Court order that stayed publication of previous results of examinees appearing from disaffiliated colleges. The University has earlier also faced similar problems regarding disaffiliation of colleges.
