Students face a bleak future

They allege that they were made to shuttle between the college premises in Athwalines and the university administrative building on the Udhna-Magdalla Road. Their problem stems from the fact that they applied for admission at only one college, hoping that once the engineering and medical students secure admission elsewhere, their name will go up in the merit list.

The delay over finalising engineering and medical admissions ensured that very little time was left before the first semester ended. The affected students allege that many candidates who had secured less marks were admitted, while their claim was rejected. Authorities, however, deny that.

There were many students who had failed to secure admission anywhere, before the acting vice-chancellor asked some colleges to accommodate them by increasing their capacity.
