The list of meritorious students admitted to Ashutosh College for English undergraduate level went viral as it came to the notice of the students.

A student of Ashutosh college said, “Many girls studying in the college are called by the name of Sunny Leone. Their names also come up in the merit list of admission. But since the name never came in the top of the merit list, nobody paid any heed to it.”
