Haryana says will recheck answersheets

Pinky suffered 70 per cent burns. She has been admitted to Safdarjung Hospital in the national capital. The college principal, Usha Malik, was transferred after the incident.

Hundreds of students staged demonstrations at various places, including MG Road and Maharana Pratap Chowk, following the incident.

Ankur Gupta, Director-General (Higher Education), visited the college on Tuesday and assured the students that their problems would be looked into by the authorities on a priority basis.

“I will ensure that all issues of the students are addressed. I have recalled the answersheets from Rohtak and we will get them rechecked here. We are willing to show the copies to the students,” he said.

More than 1,500 students across three colleges — Dronacharya Government PG College and Government PG College in Sector 9, besides the Government Girls College — have complained that they have either been failed or awarded poor marks in the semester exam.

“…And some have been marked absent. How is this possible? The university awarded poor marks to students in Mathematics, Physics and English in the fourth semester examinations. The university is making a mockery of the education system,” Sushma Chawdhary, principal of Government PG College, said.

In Dronacharya Government PG College, more than 300 students from BCom and BA have either got poor marks or have been shown absent.

In the fourth semester of BCom (Honours), all 150 students were marked absent in the corporate law paper,” Subhash Sapra, head of the Department of Commerce, said.

“The problem seems to be a clerical one. In the past also, students have come to us with errors made by the university such as non-inclusion of marks given in the internal exams in the final results,” R K Yadav, principal of Dronacharya Government PG College, said.
