Summary:
Thiruvananthapuram: In 2015, an unprecedented incident happened at College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram ( CET ), one of the premier engineering colleges in the state. When students raised protest, they tried to sabotage it by opening libraries within the hostel. Their major demand was to reduce the hostel curfew timings. A group of students led a campaign ‘Break the Curfew’ alleging that the college promotes gender discrimination by closing girls’ hostel at 6.30pm. They alleged that various facilities including library were inaccessible for girl students.Three years later, there is literally no protest at CET..
