In a bizarre incident, a group of students pursuing paramedical course from a local college boycotted examinations alleging that the institute officials “were not providing them cheating material unlike in past years“. A batch of students not only refused to write their exam, but also inflicted cuts on themselves in protest. One of them even tried to hang himself in desperation.

After the 60-odd students from Keshlata Institute of Paramedical Sciences created the ruckus at their examination centre in Rohilkhand Medical College (RMC), college authorities called police to pacify the angry bunch.

According to police, college authorities asked the agitating students to leave the RMC premises and told them that their exam stood cancelled. However, they returned to their college and continued their protests. As a few of them inflicted cuts on themselves and one even tried to hang himself on the campus, police were called to control the situation. The examination was rescheduled and had to be conduct ed in the late-night hours.

One of the students, who did not wish to be named, said, “Last year, too, students were facilitated with cheating material inside the examhall. We were de manding the same. Staff members rarely taught us and notes downloaded from the internet were distributed among us. Teachers did not even bother to complete our syllabus.“
