The university has been making the headlines recently as three separate firing incidents took place in the Jamia Nagar area in a week.

During one of the incidents that took place during an anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and proposed nationwide National Register of Citizens (NRC) protest in the university, one student was injured.

On February 2, another incident was reported where two unidentified persons allegedly opened fire outside the university gate.
