Eight students of K J Somaiya College of Nursing were in for a shock on Wednesday when the authorities asked them to leave even though they are two months into their course, and have also paid the first semester's fees. The students were admitted directly and not through the online centralised admission process. Hence, they are of the opinion that as the college has got enough students through the online process, they have been asked to leave. However, the question at the moment is why the college in the first place gave them direct admissions when it was mandatory to follow the online system.

After a meeting of their parents with the administration did not yield any result, one of the students said, "It was shocking when the authorities asked us to leave. They calmly said that our fees would be refunded. But it is not only about money. We will lose an entire academic year. Which college will admit us now?"
