MP university 'forgets' to conduct exam, students protest

Rani Durgavati University in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur city allegedly forgot to conduct examinations after releasing the schedule and admit cards.

Nine students of the post-graduate computer science course, 'Computer Organisation and Assembly Language', of the university reportedly could not take the exam and alleged that the university forgot to conduct it.

However, the university officials said it was rescheduled due to an error in the question paper.

The National Student Union of India (NSUI) claimed students were informed about the rescheduling when they reached their centre for the exam on March 5.

The government university's registrar, Deepesh Mishra said after a complaint from the students, an explanation has been sought from the examination department.

Mishra said there was some error in the question paper, therefore it was not given to the students.

The examination for the subject will now be held on March 15 while the exams of other subjects will be held as per the schedule, he said.

Meanwhile, Sachin Rajak, district president of the NSUI, students' wing of the Congress, claimed that when the students reached the examination centre, the authorities told them the exam had been rescheduled.

Blaming the university officials for this, he said some of the students came from neighbouring districts including Narsinghpur and Katni to appear for the exam.

The NSUI members met the university officials in this connection on March 5.
