Reportedly, parents of some students were also summoned by the Dean.
The parents were shown footage of the "inappropriate behaviour".
An SFI protest against the code of conduct
One of the protesting students told a local news channel, "We are protesting against the step to curb the resistance in Presidency (University). The administration is forming a code of conduct without even consulting with the students."
"We will give flowers to the Dean as a mark of protest," said another student.
As per a report by Ei Samay, the university authorities are using CCTV cameras to monitor student behaviour inside the campus.
Meanwhile, many of the parents also expressed displeasure for being summoned for their children's campus life.
