The battle of the students began with the proposal of transfer of medical colleges of Safdarjung Hospital and RML Hospital from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University to Delhi University. This was met with strong opposition from the students of IP university, who stood at a strong loss of losing an advantage of the state quota for delhi students that came with the affiliation of IP university, if the said transfer took place.
