KISHTWAR, Nov 19: Activists of National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) today held a strong protest against the Jammu Kashmir State Board of Technical Education (JKSBOTE) for its wrong evaluation of answer scripts, which led to suicide by a student Adnan.
The protesting NSUI activists assembled in front of Government Polytechnic Kishtwar and marched in the form of a rally towards the District Development Commissioner’s office.
The protest was led by Mehran Anjum Mir, State secretary NSUI and senior NSUI leader Prakash Singh Dadwal. They strongly condemned the erring act of JKSBOTE and demanded that the officials involved in examination process should be booked under Section 302, at an earliest.
While expressing grief over sad demise of the Engineering student Adnan, the NSUI leaders alleged that Board was minting money from the students by collecting re-valuation and re-examination fees. The fees of checking of a single paper is only Rs 10 to Rs 20 but the Board is looting the students by charging Rs 260 for revaluation and almost 780 for Re- examination, they said and threatened to launch an agitation if the erring officials of Board are arrested.
