Eng students demand re-implementation of exam system

The said circular was proposed only for the last academic year, hence the colleges had reverted to the old rule under the Ordinances and Regulations for the BE courses, for the current academic year.

Under this system only those students who pass in the stipulated number of subjects under the Ordinance pertaining to the BE courses will be permitted to keep term, once the results are announced.

NSUI General Secretary Sadaf Aboli argues that " The colleges are indulging in inappropriate admission procedures, when they can implement these Ordinances, as the students were not aware of this rule when they appeared for the exams." According to him if the circular was not implemented again atleast for the current academic year, thousands of students will be affected, as the passing percentage in Engineerings colleges exceptinally low over the years.

NSUI is also planning a morcha on September 6 as a token of protest. They had met the vice-chancellor last Monday on the subject but failed to get a positive response.

NSUI wants the circular to be back as under Ordinance 3709 and Ordinance 3711, relating to the BE courses, which is being implemented at the moment, students who are allowed to sit in the next year will be asked to leave the respective classes in case they fail to clear the required number of subjects, when the results are declared. At the moment, the colleges are allowing the students to sit in the next semester after getting a signed undertaking from the student assuring that they will discontinue attending classes in case of ineligibility.
