hijab row Principal of Melkar Women’s PU College BK Abdul Latheef said that the four girls had not appeared for the exam because they were not allowed to wear the hijab. “But 27 students enrolled in the science programmes, and the remaining 39 students in the commerce stream, all appeared for the practical exam.

The students removed the hijab, while appearing for the exam.
