Students protest over delay in results at DAVV

Updated on: Tuesday, October 16, 2012

Hundreds of students thronged the administrative campus of Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) with their complaints on Tuesday over the delay in results and discrepancies in mark allotment in examinations, resulting in a standstill for few hours in the morning.

Complaining about poor marks in the first professional of Bachelor of Dental Surgery course in three different private colleges, students alleged that the college has deliberately failed candidates by two to four marks. Accepting the complaints of students, vice chancellor Dr D.P Singh ordered a joint committee, that included college faculty and members of varsity examination committee, to look into the matter and submit its report within five days. "The committee will review the copies and marks allotted against the answers written and if discrepancies are found rechecking will be done. Action will be initiated against the teachers who checked the copies," said Singh while hearing the complaints.

In another complaint, students studying MSc course raised concerns over delayed result declaration. The vice chancellor ordered evaluation by centre officials while insisting that they check the copies and declare results on the spot. Nimesh Pathak, an activist fighting for the cause of students, said, "A date will be given to the students to appear at the evaluation centre with their representative and results will be declared on spot."
