Stage a demo outside the Vice-Chancellor’s office

Students had launched a protest last year as well
“No one from the University has invited us for talks"

NEW DELHI: A number of students pursuing the restructured B.Sc. (Programme) at Delhi University staged a demonstration outside the office of Vice-Chancellor Deepak Pental on Tuesday to protest against “unexpected and poor results”.

The students enrolled for the course had launched an agitation last year as well after a number of them performed poorly in the annual examination. Later the authorities set up a review committee to look into the reasons for the poor performance.

“The committee had last year said that all those students who got an Essential Repeat (ER) in one or two subjects would be promoted. However, this has not happened this year. Those who have got an ER in two subjects have been failed. At the same time, there have been cases where students who got an ER in three subjects have been promoted to the next year,” alleged a student.

“In our question papers for the final exam, a number of questions came from portions that we were told had been deleted from the syllabus. In fact, only two months prior to our annual exams we were informed by our teachers that our syllabus had been reduced,” claimed another student.

The students are agitated as no one from the University administration has invited them for dialogue since they began their protests outside the Vice Chancellor’s Office a few days ago.
