Rising Kashmir: Srinagar:
Wednesday, April 17, 2013.
The
University of Kashmir (KU) failed a student in Population Education without
checking his answer sheet, an RTI revealed.
Tariq Ahmad
Lone, a candidate pursuing B.Ed. through Directorate of Distance Education from
University of Kashmir, accused the concerned authorities of ‘not checking’ his
exam paper. The student came to know about having failed the exam after the
results were out.“After the results, I was not allowed to apply for
reevaluation. Then I applied for an RTI and got my answer-sheet back. To my
surprise my paper was not even checked,” Lone said.
The exams were conducted in Sep-Oct 2012 and
the results were declared on March 28, 2013.
Lone told
Rising Kashmir that he was hopeful about qualifying the subject.
A copy of the
answer-sheet is with Rising Kashmir. “I’m optimistic about the results if my
paper is checked properly. I don’t want to bear the consequences of their
mistakes,” Lone said.
Accusing the
authorities of not helping him in the matter, he said: “I went to the
examination block to register my complaint but there was no response from
them.”
Appealing
authorities to look in the matter, he said: “The indifference will affect my
career as well as my future. Like me there are many candidates who are sufferers
due to this academic apathy.”
KU Registrar
Prof Zaffar Ahmad Reshi said, “If there is any sort of injustice with the
student, I will look in the matter. KU looks at the issue concerning the
reevaluation troubles faced by students.”
