Woes
of polytechnic students
Sir,
The result
declared by J&K Technical Board,
recently, has sent a wave of shock among
the students of Jammu region especially.
The pass percentage was just 1.5 which is
very surprising. The entire student
community of Polytechnic colleges of
Jammu region are crying over the unfair
evaluation of their answer sheets. This
has not happened only this year but for
the last some years the same drama has
been going on. Some teachers are there
who are playing with the future of
innocent students due to the reasons best
known to them. Every year, after their
results, students protest before the
board, come on roads and even did self
immolation to get the attention of the
concerned authorities and Government to
get something favourable to them. But
negligence of Board, failure to
Government to interfere and fake
assurances bear the testimony to these
things.
How do
students suffer? What kind of mental
agony they feel? Do the authorities know
it. No, not at all, because every section
of the concerned system blames each other
for the negligence.
Students
who pay examination fee, after result,
pay re-evaluation fee once more for
getting their answer sheets evaluated
once again. Re-evaluation is the last ray
of hope. Due to teachers' negligence many
students are provided less marks and many
questions are left unmarked. So why do
students pay the re-evaluation fee once
again if the fault lies on teachers side.
Such fee should be deducted from the
marking amount (Salary) paid to the
teacher by the Board. Parents of many
students can afford exam. fee but not
re-evaluation fee which is really a great
burden on students.
A system
should be made like this so that there is
fair evaluation of answer sheets.
Students will neither protest on roads
nor do self-immolation and have good
faith both in teachers and technical
Board.
Yours
etc...
