12 nursing students seek to leave college soon after admission

A nursing college in Banaswadi here finds itself in the middle of a controversy after a group of 12 students, seven of them from Nigeria, want to leave the institution barely six months after enrolling for the course. They have approached the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), the affiliating university, to come to their rescue.

“These students from St. George College of Management, Science and Nursing complained to us that they want to leave the college as it does not have any facilities. We instructed the college to relieve the students as per their demand,” said S. Sacchidananda, Registrar (Evaluation), RGUHS. “They want their original certificates back which we will hand over to the college to be returned to the students,” Dr. Sacchidananda said.

Though the college claims it is affiliated to the RGUHS and approved by Indian Nursing Council, New Delhi, the Registrar said this will be verified.

As the institution does not have needed facilities, students have approached RGUHS to help them
