Being in news is nothing novel for the Jammu University
Number of students complained that despite of performing well in exams, JU officials deliberately bore them brunt of extra charges by failing them in their respective subjects.
As per official report every year around 20, 00 students apply for re-evaluation in various classes, out of that 24 percent students of under graduate general qualifies after re-evaluation, 32 percent is the toll of B.Ed students and shockingly 54 percent students from various courses in post graduation of JU, succeed in their dropped papers.
“Every year said number of percentage of students makes it to qualify their papers in which they have been detained, unfortunately most of the student’s passes with good number of marks after re-evaluation, which makes evaluation by officials unconvinced said official of JU, wishing anonymity.
A student of post graduation alleges that he was the topper of his class but tyranny of JU officials dropped him in two subjects, but on re-evaluating same, he secured 30 percent more marks.
“When I checked my result and found that I had been disqualified in two subjects, despite of fact that those two papers were my best, it shocked me and made me to challenge University authorities,” said aggrieved student, adding that after re-evaluating he secured double the number he had.
According to the students JU is fleecing money by failing students deliberately, “here the re-evaluation fee is around Rs 310 per answer script and addition to it, they charge Rs 175 as late fee which increases with each passing day. At least there should be some provision for the student who made to qualify after re-checking that they should be relaxed with fee,” said student, adding that the brunt of extra charge is upon students for the fault of assessor.
Parents also alleged JU for deceiving students, “JU is running a monopoly and is looting students by deliberately failing them,” Said a parent.
Every year JU holds score of students in different papers, out of that maximum number of students succeeds to qualify. This shows the erring attitude of evaluators and how much seriously they go through papers, said parents.
Denying the allegations, JU controller GM Bhat said that the pass percentage after re-evaluation includes those students who had applied for division improvement, “the students who apply for division improvement had already passed but when they apply for division improvement they are also counted in the passed outs,” said GM Bhat, adding that only those 15- 20 percent students pass through who fall short of 1-2 numbers.
When asked about fee, JU controller, GM Bhat said due to inflation teachers ask for more money and for that we have to hike fees.
