Errors in merit order remain ahead of Nagpur University’s 107th convocation
TNN | Dec 27, 2019, 04.34 AM ISTNAGPUR:
Some colleges have confirmed that the Nagpur University (NU) doesn’t have any mechanism to keep the merit order for convocation error free unless the students themselves point it out. They also said objections have gone unresolved even after six to eight months.
The colleges have come forward following a TOI report of December 9 which pointed that the merit list for the upcoming 107th convocation next month had glitches though the NU administration claimed there was coordination among exam departments to check for errors.
The convocation is scheduled on January 18 at Suresh Bhat Auditorium where Chief Justice of India Sharad Bobde is likely to be the chief guest.
With a few days left for the cut-off date for all types of revision in the merit list, colleges and students leaders have questioned the exam officials who “failed to remove discrepancies in the last one year.”
A college principal said that the exam officials have all the records nearly a year in advance. “What have they been doing? They have the actual result and the revaluation marks, yet they ask students to bring it to their notice. For months, our letters remain pending,” the principal said.
Some letters written to director of exam mentions that the colleges too were not aware and it was the students who pointed out to them.
Two years ago, the NU was left red-faced when an aggrieved student had confronted the merit list in front of Tamil Nadu governor Banwarilal Purohit who was the chief guest during the 105th convocation. Within months, the NU had tweaked its merit list policy but seems to have overlooked the coordination part.
During the last two months, some colleges have written to the exam director informing that students have objected to the merit list. In all cases, the declared topper’s CGPA and marks were less than of those students who wrote to the colleges.
The colleges then forwarded copies of marklists of these aggrieved students to the exam section.
On December 8, acting pro-VC Vinayak Deshpande had said that there was coordination among different exam departments. On Monday, he said he will check.
