Demand for merging with CUTN In February 2020, nearly 100 students petitioned against then district collector K. Rajamani during the grievances redress day meeting. They demanded the merger of the institute with the Central University of Tamil Nadu (CUTN). The students alleged that the Ministry of Textiles had not issued any order to CUTN despite approval from a Cabinet Committee. The aggrieved students boycotted classes for two weeks in protest.
