The college students have accused the Kashmir University (KU) administration for its delay in rectifying the evaluation of answer papers of 5th semester results.

Recently, the KU authorities issued a notification regardingcommencement of entrance test of students for their admission in PG coursesoffered by the University.

“But majority of the students from the outgoing batch areineligible to appear in the entrance as the KU has shown us reappear in our 5thsemester result,” said Saquib, a college student from south Kashmir.

He said the University administration had assured that theerrors in the 5th semester results of 2016 batch of students will be rectifiedwithin a week but nothing was done in this regard despite the passage of 10days.

“The examination department of KU is playing with career ofstudents. They force us to hit streets to get our genuine demands addressed,”he said.

On March 2, KU faced valley-wide student protests againstthe examination department of for declaring ‘flawed’ provisional result of 5thsemester examination.

The examination department had uploaded the provisionalresult of the 5th semester 2016 batch of students in which most of the studentswere shown as failed or reappear while as some students were awarded lessmarks.

“Students who have obtained more than 80 percent marks inlast four semesters of undergraduate course have been shown as failed orreappear,” another student said.

In wake of the student protest, the Vice Chancellor KU hadasked the varsity officials to examine the student demands and get the papersreevaluated within a week’s time. However, no changes have been made in theevaluation status of the result which was earlier uploaded on universitywebsite.

“The degree has already consumed our four years and now theKU administration is further delaying the completion of our degree by uploadingflawed results on website. Our results should get rectified or we will stagemassive protest in University campus,” the student said.

Registrar Kashmir University (KU) Dr. Nisar Ahmad Mir saidthe issue will be resolved by coming week as per the genuineness of the cases.

“Students will be informed next week whether they haveactually qualified the 5th semester exam or not. The decision will be taken onbasis of the genuineness of the cases. The examination department has alreadyframed a headway in it,” Registrar said.
