The reported advisory comes amid nationwide student demonstrations over alleged exam irregularities, paper leaks, and demands for accountability in the education system.
A fresh controversy has emerged after the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) reportedly asked some students to remove Instagram posts and videos showing support for the ongoing student demonstrations at Jantar Mantar.
The reported move has triggered discussions around student expression, social media activity, and freedom of opinion on educational campuses. Several students have been using online platforms to express solidarity with protests linked to alleged examination irregularities and paper leak concerns.

The demonstrations have gained momentum across different parts of the country, with students and supporters demanding greater transparency in the examination system. Protesters have also raised concerns over accountability and called for action against those responsible for alleged lapses.
Students participating in the movement have been showing support in different ways — from attending demonstrations and raising slogans to sharing messages, posters, and short videos on social media platforms.
According to reports, some students at IIT Madras received communication asking them to take down Instagram content related to the protests. The development has led to debate among students and online users, with some questioning whether institutions should intervene in students’ personal social media activity.
Supporters of institutional guidelines argue that educational campuses must maintain discipline and ensure that academic environments remain unaffected by external movements. However, critics believe students should have the right to express their opinions on matters of public importance.
The issue comes at a time when student-led discussions around education reforms, examination security, and accountability in competitive exams have intensified across India.
With social media becoming an important platform for young people to share their views, the reported action by IIT Madras has added another dimension to the ongoing conversation about the role of educational institutions in regulating student expression.
