Hundreds of students belonging to the University of Mysore staged a demonstration in the city on Thursday against the introduction of the credit-based choice system.

It was introduced from the current academic year for the first-year degree students who claimed that there was no clarity on the new system which had caused confusion.

The students were led by All India Democratic Students Organisation and All India Democratic Youth Organisation and they assembled in large numbers in front of the Crawford Hall, the administrative seat of the University, and demonstrated against the system.

The students said that the results under the new system had lot of anomalies and should be rectified and announced afresh. They also demanded that the choice-based credit system should be dropped and the confusion over the number of attempts in failed subjects should be resolved at the earliest. The AIDSO and AIDYO also flayed the hike in evaluation fee and wanted it to be reduced.

Vice-Chancellor G. Hemantha Kumar and other administrative staff who listened to the students grievances assured them that the confusion over the number of attempts and their other demands would be resolved within 15 days and a suitable decision would be taken in the students’ interest at the next syndicate meeting.

The AIDYO and AIDSO leaders who addressed the students said they would intensify their protest in case the University failed to resolve the issue as promised.
