According to the school's management, students found engaging in the practice will now be rusticated for a year.
The decision arrived after an academic board meeting was held last Thursday, May 2.
A source at the board of the school told Starr News that the University or any of its departments hereafter shall not accept any donation or sponsorship package from any betting company for any programme on the Science and technology campus.
The source also added that the information technology service of the university has been directed to block all betting websites
