| Cluster University Srinagar does a Jaspal Bhatti! | | Students made to change exam centers | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Jan 12: In a first of its kind development in the history of higher education in Jammu and Kashmir, the Cluster University of Srinagar introduced a system of making students change exam centers during exams thereby putting the pupil to "undue inconvenience."
For the ongoing examinations for various graduate and post-graduate courses, the CUS evolved a "new mechanism" of changing exam venues of students from one place to another.
In one such case, the students of 3rd semester of various integrated courses pursuing education at the Amar Singh College in Srinagar were made to appear in some of the papers at their home campus whereas the same students were made to appear in some of the papers for the same exam at SP College.
The students said their precious time got waste in finding exam centers that kept changing. "Why to conduct exams for some papers in one campus and hold exams for other papers at a different venue. Our precious time got waste in this," the students said.
The student said when they approached the university authorities to lodge a complaint they were threatened to "keep your mouth shut or face dire consequences in results."
A senior official in the Higher Education Department told Early Times that such an arrangement of holding exams was never heard of before.
He said some of the officials in the CUS enjoy "political patronage and thus have taken things forgranted as complaints of mismanagement have become a norm."
"Unless His Excellency Lieutenant Governor orders an inquiry into the working (of CUS), the academic activities will remain in mess," the official said on the condition of anonymity.
When contacted a senior official at the CUS tried to downplay the matter. "Exams were held in such a manner for the administrative convenient and some students are trying to make mountain out of molehill," the official said.
Meanwhile the student community has appealed Lieutenant Governor GC Murmu to personally look into matter and get academic activities streamlined at the CUS. |
