The Weight of Consequence in Higher Education The recent suicide of Sahil Wakode, a 20 year old BTech student at IIT Bombay, has brought to light deep seated tensions within India's premier technical institutes.
Director Shireesh Kedare is meeting with protesting students to discuss their demands, including the suspension of Prof Suryanarayana Doolla.
The incident that led to Wakode's death was stark: a student caught using a mobile phone during an exam allegedly uploaded the paper on an AI platform for answers.
