The agitating students block the road and didn’t allow vehicular movement to show their resentment over the attitude of university authorities for allegedly playing with their future.
It’s just to harass and to play with the further of students. How is it possible that everyone present here secured 65 percent to 85 percent marks in three subjects but in the fourth subject, we did so bad that all deserved only 1 or 2 marks, “said a student, Mannu Kotwal.
“We are not that incompetent to secure a big 0 or just 1or 2 marks, this is the ploy of university authorities to generate revenue by compelling students to go for re checking by paying hefty fees,” said another student, Anime Sheikh
“We will intensify our struggle unless a separate Controller Examination is not introduced in Bhadarwah Campus for all the 10 Chenab Valley colleges, as we are fed up with the blackmailing and harassing tactics of Jammu University,” Anime, added.
The protest continued at Seri Bazaar and traffic remained suspended for a few hours as the students demanded assurance from the university authorities.
