FAISALABAD, Jan 25: Students on Saturday boycotted B.Com Part-II cost accounting paper calling it out of syllabus.

Later, they reached the Municipal Degree College, Jaranwala Road. The students taking examinations there also boycotted the paper and joined the protest.

A heavy police contingent rushed to the college to avoid any untoward incident.

The students taking examination at the Government College, Samanabad, centre also boycotted the paper when they received the news of the protest from students of the other two examination centres. They also reached the Municipal Degree College and joined the protest.

Dozens of students wrote the word ‘boycott’ on the answer-books and handed them over to invigilators. Some of the students refused to give up the answer-books which resulted in exchange of hot words between them and the supervisory staff.
