Administrator of the university, taken over by government two years ago, Shiv Das Meena ordered the suspension of the classes in all departments except the medical college and hostel students asked to leave for their home towns, Professor and Chief of Arts wing T Rajendran told reporters.
Earlier, around 15,000 students of the university, led by Joint Action Committee (JAC), boycotted classes and staged a dharna inside the campus.
However, soon after the announcement about suspension of the classes, the students withdrew their protest, Rajendran said adding no decision had been taken on reopening the university.
