In this, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) has been given to one student and a Transfer Certificate (TC) has been given to the other.
In these, two girl students had a press meeting, in which questions were raised on the rules of wearing uniforms inside the university.

Also told that the one who has been given NOC can take admission in any college through this, when they get admission then TC will also be given.
Special arrangement for girl students who do not follow dress code
Mangaluru University vice-chancellor PS Yadapadithaya had announced that if the girls did not want to follow the High Court’s direction, asking them to follow the dress code, then for those girl students to join universities and other colleges. Special arrangements will be made.
High Court dismissed the petition
In February, the Karnataka government had banned the hijab in schools and colleges, citing the violation of public order and equality, which was challenged in the High Court. Subsequently, in March, the Karnataka High Court dismissed petitions seeking wearing of the hijab inside class, saying that the hijab was not a necessary religious part of the Islamic faith.
