The students had earlier taken to the streets in protest, alleging insensitivity on the part of the university management.
The students at a congress on Saturday passed a resolution to disrupt the forthcoming examinations if students were not provided with identity cards.
They also asked the authorities to constitute the Students’ Welfare Board as well as allow use of cooking appliances that had been banned in the halls of residence.
