Third year female engineering students at Al-Azhar University stormed examination halls on Sunday an hour after the start of exams and tore up answer sheets and student rosters.
The college administration, with the help of security forces, intervened and suspended exams.
Students who stormed the examination halls were arrested.
Sources said the college board would determine what to do about the interrupted exam.
Meanwhile, students in the boys dorms shouted “Islamic state” and threw stones at security.
Fumes were also seen rising from outside the dorms after students set trees on fire to block security forces.
