The parents of the girls have also been told about the decision.
They said they would make a decision after talking to male members from their families.
He said from Tuesday, students would not be allowed to create chaos or confusion on the campus campus.
Representatives of organizations and media people will not be permitted on campus.
Steps have been taken when colleges receive complaints from parents from other students during the time inspection approaching, said Bhat.
If their students or parents have further complaints, they must take it with the district commissioner deputy, said MLA, just adding those who follow the discipline will be permitted on campus.
