The office-bearers of the AMU students’ union had locked the offices of the registrar,examination controller,proctor and finance controller on Monday,demanding removal of Khan for “maligning the union’s image”.

“The university administration has accepted the resignation of Prof Khan as the proctor,” said AMU spokesperson Zeeshan Ahmad.

Later,speaking to The Indian Express,Khan said the protests by the office bearers of the students’ union was causing inconvenience to “innocent students”. “They had closed the offices and it was affecting the administrative works and examination-related works. So I tendered my resignation in the interest of students as well as the university,” he added.

The university had to postpone examinations of Class-X,XII,BA and MBBS that were scheduled on Tuesday,as printing of question papers was disrupted by the lock-down.

“The examinations scheduled for Wednesday were held normally. The fresh date for examination of papers that were postponed on Tuesday will be soon announced,” the spokesperson said. The university has also extended the last date for the submission of admission application forms for various courses,including LLB,MBA,MSc (Agriculture),MSc (Biotechnology) and others,from March 21 to March 25.
