Media invents negatives of
University: Prof Rajnikant
PS BALI
Jammu, December
Due to a nexus of neglects, score
of students appearing for University Grants Commission (UGC) National
Eligibility Test (NET) examination alleged of poor facilities provided by Jammu
University and expressed shame over the working of the premier institute.
“The Jammu University kept
thousands of students shiver in the bone-chilling cold, without any facility of
heating system. Even the colleges and schools provide better facilities than
this premier institute of the state,” expressed appearing student, Raviya Gupta
saying that the condition of Jammu University is so miserable that in absence
of electricity, University has no back-up supply.
“It is disgraceful that the Jammu
University has no backup power supply in the absence of main electricity
supply. It gave me literal feel of ‘Stone-Age’, today while appearing for NET
examinations,” said she.
Score of students accused Jammu
University authorities of being insensitive and playing with their career. “Authorities
of Jammu University take these examinations frivolously, that is why same
accusations and allegations are lobbed on JU authorities time and again,” said
Rabinder Singh adding that JU administration failed yet another time to provide
just facilities to students appearing for examinations, “filling those circles
of OMR sheet in cold is quite difficult task, but filling them in dark add-on
to it,” he rued.
Various students taking
examination in Home science and its adjoining blocks lamented that construction
work of the building irked them and abstracted them from concentration.
“Instead of alleviating our
problem, University administration torture students with the background noise
of construction work, in progress at Home Science department,” said students of
Fine Arts.
They further added that
University Authorities should have this much sense that at time when students
are struggling with questions, such a noise should be avoided.
When contacted Prof Rajnikant
(dealing with NET examinations), he refuted and said that it is not his prerogative
to comment on construction activities of the University and ranted when was
asked about power supply. He even challenged professional integrity of media,
saying “you people invent and then highlight negatives of University.”
It is pertinent to mention here
that this is not the first time that Jammu University resented students
appearing for any examination. Earlier also, such allegations were lobbed on JU
for its failure of conducting examinations like State Level Eligibility Test
(SLET) and SSC in a smooth and better way. This time over 10, 123 students
appeared for UGC NET in Jammu.
