Though the letter lacks clarity and authenticity, it went viral in the social media platforms, especially among the users of Whatsapp. “This is to bring to your kind attention that there are a couple of fake and inappropriate circulars being sent under the name and designation of SRMIST’s administration/ Registrar. These circulars contain false information and spoil the image of our institute. Henceforth any person-student attempting to send such unauthorized letters will be dealt with firmly and expelled from the institution. A Police complaint will also be filed against them” the SRM institution sent a notice.

The fake circular which has the signature of the registrar N Sethuraman and others including the Chancellor, President etc is dated 22nd of January. Registrar Sethuraman, while talking to Hindu, said that the college management has been sending circulars from time to time regarding the regulations during COVID 19 and the rules regarding the reopening of the college.
