Part 1 examination for arts, science, commerce and vocational courses rescheduled due to teachers strike

Updated on: Friday, December 21, 2012

The Palamu-based Nilamber Pitamber University has rescheduled Part 1 examination for arts, science, commerce and vocational courses owing to the ongoing strike called by teachers of affiliated colleges. The examinations, earlier scheduled to begin on November 30, have been postponed until January 7, 2013, if the strike is withdrawn by that time.

Varsity registrar P K Verma said teachers at four big colleges affiliated to the university are on strike since November 24 and the universities all over the state are to go on Christmas holiday in the third week of December. LGSN Shahdeo, controller of the NP university examinations, confirmed the development

Sources said the academic schedule for Part 1 students has been adversely affected by the strike and there will be two Part 1 examinations in the 2013 calendar year there — one for the batch of 2012 and the other for 2013 — with a gap of just a few months. The delayed examinations will have its effect on the students performance, said Renu Kumari, an affected student.

Pro vice-chancellor Ramesh K Pandey said: "All efforts will be made to ensure that the examinations are conducted from January 7. In the event the strike does not end, the administration of three districts — Latehar, Garhwa and Palamu —will be approached for help.

The officials will be asked to provide government buildings as examination centres, officials to work as invigilators and a posse of police force for maintenance of law and order. Vice-Chancellor Firoz Ahmad has also sought the cooperation of the teachers in the matter.
