The students of the Kailash Institute of Nursing and Paramedical Sciences in Knowledge Park have accused the college management of extorting money in exchange for attendance. According to a written complaint signed by nine students, the college allegedly demands ₹500 per day to mark attendance. Those who refuse to pay are being mentally harassed and threatened with academic consequences, including being barred from sitting in exams.

Threats, Harassment, and Blocked Exam Forms
The students claim that the money is being collected through the Head of Department (HOD) at the behest of the Director. Students who complied reportedly had their attendance marked without issue, while others were warned that their academic year would be wasted. In their letter, the students detailed how they have been trying to fill out their examination forms for several days, but the college administration has allegedly refused to allow them to proceed. With the deadline for exam form submission approaching, students are growing increasingly anxious about losing their academic year.
