Bundelkhand University students protest over mismanagement in evaluation of exam papers

In order to calm the agitating students, District magistrate Jhansi Andra Vamsi and SSP Shivhari Meena intervened and assured them that their problems will be heard and the amicable solution will be provided.

Several students of various colleges affiliated with the Bundelkhand University have staged a protest alleging mismanagement and irregularities during scrutiny of examination papers. Students alleged that because of the same many of them failed in the final exams.

While speaking to TOI on the same, BU, vice-chancellor, Prof JV Vaishampayan said that a committee comprising two persons from university and two from the administration has been constituted to look into the matter in details after which further decision will be taken. 

Students further alleged that since the final year results were announced on the basis of the previous year's exams, they were promoted without any examination owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, hence, they will be considered failed in the previous year's exams as well. 

In order to calm the agitating students, District magistrate Jhansi Andra Vamsi and SSP Shivhari Meena intervened and assured that their problems will be heard and amicable solution will be provided. The students further alleged that earlier they were informed about theoretical exams which were later converted into MCQs-based exams and two exams were held in a day.

“In the last moment, the decision of holding a theatrical exam was changed to MCQs with two exams in a day which led to total chaos. Later on we came to know that there were technical snags during checking of the answer sheets too”, said one of the protesting girl, a student of BSc IInd year, as reported by TOI.
“This is a very serious issue which should be taken up on the priority basis as there have been many instances where the result of students were first shown as pass and after a few days, they were declared as fail. It is a matter of future of hundreds of students. What if someone commits suicide, who will be held responsible?”, questioned Prashant Gupta, a BCom second year student from Banda.
