JAMMU, Mar 27: NSF today alleged that marking in Jammu University was being done least professionally and without accountability as more than 50 percent of PG students were declared passed after the re-evaluation of answer scripts.
Citing a reply obtained under RTI, NSF vice-president Narinder Singh said out of 1381 cases of re-evaluation in different PG courses, 698 papers were declared passed that constitutes more than 50 percent of the total. “It proves that large scale irregularities were committed in evaluation of the answer scripts that too of PG students which is highly unfair,.” he said.
While elaborating, the NSF leader said,” In Economics (PP), 9 students applied for re-evaluation out of whom 8 were declared passed. In English, 393 students applied for re-evaluation and 206 were declared passed. In Chemistry, 31 students applied for re-evaluation and 25 were declared passed. In Sociology, 143 applied for re-evaluation out of whom 87 were declared passed. In Economics, 47 students applied for re-evaluation and 33 of them were declared passed.”
Similarly, in Commerce, 157 students applied for re-evaluation and 82 of them were declared passed. In Education, 10 students applied for re-evaluation and all of them, except one, were declared passed. “Astonishingly, in Geography, Kashmiri, Physics and Punjabi all the students who had applied for re-evaluation were declared passed. In Political Science, 49 students applied for re-evaluation out of whom h 42 were declared passed,” he added.
Flaying the Examination wing authorities for playing with the career of students, Singh said that students were being befooled by the authorities in the name of re-evaluation as the same set of people first fail the students in evaluation and then pass them in the re-evaluation after charging hefty sum of fees and wasting their precious time. “It is just minting of money from the students in the garb of re-evaluation fees owing to which evaluation of answer scripts of most of the students is done casually,” he alleged.
