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.
