A second-year engineering student was barred from taking her exam because of unpaid college fees. Shravani Shewale, 19, a student of the Artificial Intelligence and Data Science programme at Shah & Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College in Chembur, was reportedly denied entry despite her father’s requests for assistance 
under the ‘Mulina Mofat Shikshan Yojana’.

According to her father Deepak, the college demanded payment of Rs 1.5 lakh, despite multiple requests for government facilities. He stated that he provided the necessary documentation for her to avail of benefits under the scheme, but the college refused to accept it.
