MDU exam dates: INSO protests, wants govt to roll back decision, promote students

ROHTAK: Three days after Rohtak-based Maharshi Dayanand University announced the exam dates for final year students enrolled in 37 graduate, postgraduate and diploma courses, students’ bodies on Monday flayed the varsity’s decision, claiming it to be against the best interests of students.

As per the Haryana government’s notification issued on June 12, which was followed by the Rohtak varsity, the local students studying in the final year will have to appear for exams. For the students from outside Haryana, the average of all previous exams may be taken or they can opt either for taking the exam or improvement of grades later on by physical examination, if they haven’t taken any exam earlier.

The university will be conducting final year exams between July 6 and July 26.

Protesting against university vice-chancellor Rajbir Singh, the Indian National Students’

Organisation’s (INSO’s) vicepresident, Deepak Malik, said the authorities made their decision while ignoring the health concerns of thousands of students.

BS Sandhu, university controller of examination, said they had released the datesheet on the directions of the state government.
