Rahul, who spent about 30 minutes inside the campus, avoided media persons while coming out of the college, but took time to come out of his car and shake hands with students waiting outside. Reporters were not allowed inside the venue.

The Congress leader is slated to visit two more campuses, Maharajas college at Ernakulam and Farooq college in Kozhikode later in the day.
