Varsity copies old exam paper
BENGALURU, SEPTEMBER 28, 2018 00:00 IST
RGUHS authorities say there was no lapse on their part.
Nursing students face same questions as in 2016
Second year M.Sc. (Nursing) students, who sat for their examination on Wednesday, found that one of their papers had the same set of questions as the 2016 question paper.
While the students are demanding a re-examination for the Nursing Management Examination subject, the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), which conducted the exam, ruled out the possibility.
All eight questions were exactly the same as the ones printed in the October 2016 paper.
Students pointed out that those who had gone through the 2016 paper would have had an ‘unfair’ advantage over their peers. However, university authorities justified this saying the question paper was out in the public domain and all students had access to it.
The university authorities stated that there was no ‘lapse’ on the part of the university. Vice-Chancellor S. Sachidanand and Registrar (Evaluation) M.K. Ramesh said there was no rule that questions from an old paper could not be reproduced.
“The questions are not out of syllabus, and this is sometimes intentional,” Mr. Ramesh said.
Mr. Sachidanand added that all the students received the same question paper.
