Re-evaluation in JU mere a stunt of fetching money: students
Pardeep Singh
Jammu September 2
Being in news is nothing novel for the Jammu University, as part of its stereotypic feat JU always keeps its cliché in News papers. This time the matter is something serious, as the students who had applied for re-evaluation of different classes under JU has alleged that this is mere way of fetching money out of students by detaining them.
Number of students complained that despite of performing well in exams, JU officials deliberately bore them brunt of extra charges by failing them in their respective subjects.
As per official report every year around 20, 00 students apply for re-evaluation in various classes, out of that 24 percent students of under graduate general qualifies after re-evaluation, 32 percent is the toll of B.Ed students and shockingly 54 percent students from various courses in post graduation of JU, succeed in their dropped papers.
A student of post graduation alleges that he was the topper of his class but tyranny of JU officials dropped him in two subjects, but on re-evaluating same, he secured 30 percent more marks.
“When I checked my result and found that I had been disqualified in two subjects, despite of fact that those two papers were my best, it shocked me and made me to challenge University authorities,” said aggrieved student, adding that after re-evaluating he secured double the number he had.
According to the students JU is fleecing money by failing students deliberately, “here the re-evaluation fee is around Rs 310 per answer script and addition to it, they charge Rs 175 as late fee which increases with each passing day. At least there should be some provision for the student who made to qualify after re-checking that they should be relaxed with fee,” said student, adding that the brunt of extra charge is upon students for the fault of assessor.
Parents also alleged JU for deceiving students, “JU is running a monopoly and is looting students by deliberately failing them,” Said a parent.
Denying the allegations, JU controller GM Bhat said that the pass percentage after re-evaluation includes those students who had applied for division improvement, “the students who apply for division improvement had already passed but when they apply for division improvement they are also counted in the passed outs,” said GM Bhat, adding that only those 15- 20 percent students pass through who fall short of 1-2 numbers.
When asked about fee, JU controller, GM Bhat said due to inflation teachers ask for more money and for that we have to hike fees.
