It would be recalled that the university management, on December 4, announced the closure of the institution over students’ protest for one week.

The students protested over the death of a 500-level student of Geology, Joseph Baidu, outside the campus.

The management said the measure was imperative to avert breakdown of law and order on the two campuses of the university.
