SPPU students complain against additional fee for ‘backlog’ in practical subjects
On May 28, SPPU opened the window for filling the application forms for the students of engineering. However, while filling the forms the students noticed that the practical subjects of the seventh-semester show backlog and an additional examination fee is being asked for the same.
SPPU Exams 2021: Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) is receiving complaints against the payment of an additional fee for filling the second-semester examination form, citing backlog in practical test in the seventh semester (first of the final year). BSc computer science students have also made similar complaints. Amid the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic the colleges were closed and they could not conduct practical exams. Also, the internal marks of students were not received by the examination department of SPPU. When the results were declared, the marksheet column for the practical exam mentioned ‘not available’ (NA) which has hurt students seeking placements. Now their last semester examination will start on June 15.
On May 28, SPPU opened the window for filling the application forms for the students of engineering. However, while filling the forms the students noticed that the practical subjects of the seventh-semester show backlog and an additional examination fee is being asked for the same. The students started inquiring about this with the colleges. But they didn’t get any answer from the Pune University. Also, the SPPU’s examination department could not be reached as the university was closed on Sunday.
Expressing their anger on social media, the students questioned the University against the additional fee and what would happen to the practical subjects. Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad’s city secretary Shubham Bhutkar and Yukrand’s city vice-president Kamlakar Shete also complained to the university officials and demanded immediate rectification.
“There is confusion in the results due to lack of coordination between the examination department and the concerned faculties, whether it is the NA’s remarks or the subject backlog,” an official said.
Meanwhile, Mahesh Kakade, Director of SPPU’s Board of Examinations and Evaluation, said that necessary instructions have been issued to rectify the issue.
