Controversy

In 2017, a fourth-semester civil engineering student of the Scholar's Institute of Technology and Management died following a fight with his classmates at the institute's hostel. Both the accused and the victim hail from Arunachal Pradesh. Both of them were in drunken state and were involved in a spat and later went on to the extent of exchanging blows resulting in victim's death.

Coinciding with the Statehood Day of Arunachal Pradesh, celebrations were held in the institute too by a section of the hostel boarders. According to sources, liquor in huge quantity was made available in the celebrations that led to the appalling incident.
