Students troubled as tutor gasped (13)
I believe the answer is:
postgraduates
'students' is the definition.
(postgraduate is a kind of student)
'troubled as tutor gasped' is the wordplay.
'troubled' is an anagram indicator.
'as'+'tutor'+'gasped'='astutorgasped'
'astutorgasped' anagrammed gives 'POSTGRADUATES'.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
