A university
in India was forced to put its postgraduate examination on hold as the
authorities were said to have forgot to print question papers.
94 students
of the Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University had appeared to write their last paper
of the second semester postgraduate Hindi exam but had to leave without writing
the examination.
The
institution’s Public Relations Officer, Ashok Thakur, blamed the oversight on
the confusion created by the introduction of the choice based credit system.
“The CBCS
was introduced to allow students the flexibility to choose any subject (from
science, arts or commerce streams) in the fourth paper. The Hindi HoD has
claimed that printing of question papers could not be initiated as he was not
aware which subjects the students opted for in the fourth paper,” Hindustan
Times quoted Thakur as saying.
The vice
chancellor has served a ‘show cause’ notice on the controller of examination
and the head of Hindi postgraduation department.
Funny
enough, same thing happened earlier, as shortage of answer books in the
university had contributed to the delay in the degree part II examination by
almost a year.
