Nearly 300 Indian students of London Metropolitan University (LMU) whose High Trust Status (HTU) has been cancelled by the UK Border Agency are left in the lurch.
Hyderabad-based Mala Gurbani is one of those 300 odd having joined the university's Journalism programme in July 2011, Mala came back to the country a couple of months ago to finish her dissertation.
“My thesis was on journalism in India and so I had come back early to work on it. I travelled all across the country speaking to journalists for compiling it and after completion I sent it back in June but didn't get any response from my professor. By August when I hadn't received my grading, I called up the college to find what had happened and they informed me that the professor was no longer a faculty member. With this jeopardy, I really have no idea what is going to happen. E-mails to the department and administration only result in automated replies saying that they will look into it,” Mala said.
The LMU's Indian offices stationed in Delhi and Chennai were unavailable immediately after the controversy broke out, leaving students in perplexed state.
