Jammu Tawi, December 16
Apathy of examination department of Jammu University has left entire student fraternity in dilemma, where on one side the examinations are near, the students are still in dark about date sheet of their respective subjects.
So far the department has not yet dispatched proper date sheet to departments.
As per sources the examination of various classes under Jammu University will begin from December 22, but students are in dilemma what to prepare, as no date sheet has yet been notified, prior to tentative date of examination.
Aggrieved students rued that some days back notification from controller office was out in paper carrying tentative examination date, which was December 22, "but as of now a week is pending including holidays, we are yet to receive proper date sheet," said a delegation of students, adding that even though the departments are not provided with official examination schedule.
Talking to Newspoint an official from Distance Education Department said that, as the examination for various classes are going to start from December 22, but yet we are not officially informed about the scheduled date sheet, which is creating problem for departments as well as students, who approach us from far flung areas. "Unofficially, we came to know that examinations are from December 22, same is what we convey to students, but hitherto we haven't received any official document," said an official, on conditions of anonymity, adding that as per officials at examination department the same date sheet would reach to us on Monday.
"After that we have to publish it on our own to inform students, but as there are holidays in between, we have apprehension that some students might miss the schedule," said the official, adding but we will put all our efforts to inform all.
When Newspoint tried to contact controller examination, GM Bhat, he asked us to contact Prof. Deepanker Gupta, officer on special duty, who said that they have dispatched all the data along with center notice to students and "if we feel that there is need of more communication, we will take the medium of newspapers to inform students".
On whether, what students do till they receive the schedule, Deepanker Gupta assured that by tomorrow, scheduled
date sheet would be out in newspapers for the convenience of students.
It is pertinent to mention here that this is not the first time that examination department came under criticism, some seven days back, due to mistake of examination department, Hindi students had to appear in some other course prior to scheduled one.
