K’SHETRA VARSITY RAISES STUDENTS’ CONCERN WITH GOVERNMENT

KARNAL: Following the Haryana government’s notification directing all higher and technical education institutions across the state to conduct exams of final year students from July 1 to 31, Kurukshetra University has written to the government about the concerns raised by students appearing for exams.

Less than two weeks are left for exams to commence, making it difficult for universities and colleges to make arrangements for students as many of them will be returning from other districts and parts of the state.

Since the guidelines for exams were issued on June 12, students had been sending emails to the vice-chancellor and their teachers expressing their concerns about safety as well as inability to reach exam centres with several restrictions on movement still in place.

They say even the syllabus of most of the courses has not been completed as the universities and colleges were shut in the first week of March.

“We had on Monday held a meeting in this regard where we decided to raise all concerns of the students with Haryana government. We have already written to the government and waiting for its response on the problems highlighted by the students in their e-mails,” said Brajesh Sawhney, director, public relations, Kurukshetra University.

He said the next decision will be made as per the guidelines of the government. Thousands of students studying in the colleges associated with state universities are waiting for the formal guidelines as well.
