CHENNAI: Following recent attempts by college students to join virtual court proceedings on petitions challenging the government decision to cancel arrears examinations, a section of students on Tuesday went one step further by webcasting the proceedings live on YouTube for a few hours.

The live webcast, under the subject “Arrears,” was taken down after thousands of students began accessing it and the media started taking note of it. Gaining access, under the guise of an advocate, to the virtual court proceedings conducted on Microsoft Teams platform, the students shared the proceedings using cast option on YouTube.

On November 20, a Division Bench of Justices Sathyanarayanan and R Hemalatha began the hearing, when at least 250 students gained access to the proceedings and started shouting, forcing the Benech to suspend the proceedings.

On Tuesday, the court, taking note of the earlier disruption, restricted entry to the platform, permitting only advocates who had been listed for each case. Even the media which usually covered court proceedings were not allowed entry. 

Censuring students who webcast the proceedings, the Bench observed, “In the light of the fact that this virtual system is being abused by certain persons, we are shifting the arrears challenge petitions to physical hearing.” The Bench also warned the students of contempt proceedings for the live webcast.

It passed interim directions by restraining all universities in the State from declaring an ‘all pass’ result when arrears exams were not conducted, either online or offline mode or a combination of both. The Bench refused to accept the State’s arguments that the examinations were cancelled keeping in mind of the safety of students during the pandemic.

Counsel for University Grants Commission told the Bench on Tuesday that cancellation of the examinations was in violation of its guidelines. One of the petitioners also said that a few universities, especially Manonmaniam Sundaranar University and University of Madras, were releasing results without conducting examinations.

The Bench observed that universities across the State are free to conduct their examinations through online or offline mode or a combination of both, despite the government passing an order on cancelling the examinations. “Let the State government permit the universities to conduct arrears examinations, if they want to do so. The choice has to be left to them,” the Bench said, adjourning the plea to January 11.

CHENNAI: Five students were barred from the medical admission counselling on grounds of doubts over their nativity certificates. The decision was taken by the five-member committee constituted by the Selection Committee of Directorate of Medical Education.

Selection Committee Secretary G Selvarajan said, “Committee was not satisfied by the documents presented by these five candidates.”When asked if the students will be allowed later, if they produce relevant documents, the secretary said, the committee will take a decision in this regard. “On Monday, one student was not allowed and the other four students were not allowed on Tuesday,” said officials.

Explaining the situation, officials said,” Among the five, one student was born at a hospital in Kerala, but his family lives in Tamil Nadu. In this case, the committee verified the certificates and was not satisfied and hence he was not allowed.” Meanwhile, on Tuesday the Selection Committee called 452 candidates for the counselling, among them 443 students attended and a total of 429 seats were allotted.

According to the Selection Committee data, 406 MBBS seats were allotted in government medical colleges, and 23 in self-financing medical colleges. One candidate opted out and nine candidates were in waiting list. The Health Department is conducting offline counselling to prevent malpractice. Health Minister C Vijayabaskar had said, “in person verification of community, nativity certificates and school certificates for government students was important.”

CHENNAI: In a welcome move, Anna University has written to the principals of all affiliated institutions and colleges, directing them not to confiscate the original certificates of the faculty. “Only copies of the original certificates have to be maintained in the college,” the varsity said in a letter on Saturday.

The direction is an offshoot of the recent communication from the Higher Education Department that stated that a faculty in a private institution had alleged harassment in this regard. He had subsequently killed himself.

The department further said, even as the case was legally closed by the police, “they (college management) may duly be warned by the authorities and if necessary, some strict disciplinary or penal actions may be initiated against them.”

Don’t seize original papers: AU

After over two years of inquiry and investigation, the department, earlier this month, had asked competent authorities such as the All India Council for Technical Education( (AICTE) and Anna University to ensure that private affiliated colleges do not confiscate teachers’ original certificates in a bid to retain them forcefully.

“The recruitment process, appointment order post recruitment with the due fixation of salary, alongside the rules and regulations of the management, should all be ensured for maximum transparency, ”said the department. It also added that the faculty should also be allowed to attend some periodic “destressing programs.”

Covid care centre at a college being cleaned ahead of college reopening, in Chennai on Tuesday | R Satish babu


Express News Service

CHENNAI: As colleges brace for return of final-year students on December 7, educational institutions that were converted into Covid-19 isolation centres are struggling to make their campuses clean and safe.

Representatives of several colleges said efforts should be taken to quickly disinfect, clean and handover the institutions to the respective managements. With barely a week left for the reopening, it is learnt that Chennai alone has over 50 colleges which are yet to be handed over to the managements. 

Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami on Monday announced reopening of medical colleges and resumption of physical classes for final-year undergraduate students of arts and science, engineering, agriculture, fisheries and veterinary programmes from December 7. The government has also announced that courses will be conducted in-person for research students and final-year postgraduate students from Wednesday.

While only a few government non-medical colleges still house Covid patients, most of them are on standby and have not been handed over. Even among those colleges which were handed over, classes are far from ready for students. “We have not had any incoming patients for a few weeks now. We have asked Chennai Corporation to hand over the college after cleaning, and they said they will do it on Tuesday,” said a spokesperson of an arts and science college in Velachery.

Even as the Anna University campus has been handed over, the premises were still being cleaned on Monday when Express visited. A senior official from the university said the campus will be restored to its normal conditions before students are brought in. Meanwhile, the Corporation officials said that only the KP Park Covid-19 care centre has patients. “We have not been admitting any new patients into educational institutions for the last few weeks,” an official said.

Many colleges had handed over their hostel rooms to government. “We handed over hostels and no cleaning has been carried yet. Most students are scared to come back,” said principal of a government arts and science college in Thiruvarur. KM Karthik, the founder of All India Private Colleges Employees Union, said that while reopening colleges for final-year students is a welcome move, it would be risky to reopen colleges for other students immediately.

“Handling a fourth of the college strength while maintaining social distancing will be possible, especially in hostels. Government should wait for a few weeks to see the result of reopening before taking any further decision,” he said.
