Indore: BAMS students cut up over Vice Chancellor response

Updated on: Friday, January 06, 2012

Annoyed at 'poor' valuation of papers, students lodged protest at the DAVV administrative block on Wednesday. But the agitating students had to go back disappointed after officiating vice chancellor of Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) asked them to approach the court for redressal of grievance. A day earlier, the MBBS students protested against the alleged delay in result declaration.

On Wednesday, more than 50 students of BAMS and BSc met officiating vice chancellor Dr Rajkamal and complained about the poor evaluation. Their grouse: Only one out of 35 candidates could pass in 'Dravya Gun Vigyan' paper of BAMS.

Last month, the students had sought answer sheets through RTI application. On Wednesday, students found that 34 were allotted four marks in 30 mark questions.

Alleging poor marking, students requested the officiating vice chancellor to take up the matter before the review committee, but the V-C reportedly did not approve of it and instead advised them to go to court. "I cannot help if students do not study and get poor marks. If students have problems with marking system they should move the court," said Dr Rajkamal. Similarly, scores of BSc students reached university to register their complaint for poor marking.

Students of MBBS first, who had raised slogan against the varsity to declare results on Tuesday, were in for a shock when they learnt that the Mahatma Gandhi Medical College (MGMC) faculty members did not check answer-sheets till date. On enquiring from examiners in the MGMC, the varsity officials found that the examiners delayed the results.

Sources said the faculty members did not check the copies as varsity did not pay them for checking the copies. Now, the university is making other arrangements to speed up result declaration.

"The examiners did not check answer sheets so results were not declared on time. But, alternative arrangements have been made and results would be declared soon," said Dr Rajkamal.
