New Delhi: Many of the undergraduates studying in Delhi University (DU) colleges are a worried lot these days. Claiming to be the victim of faulty evaluation of examination papers, students have questioned the scores given to them.
Aggrieved over the issue, they have demanded re-evaluation of various papers and taken up the issue with college administration.
Some of the students have even claimed to be marked absent in the examination while they actually sat for the exam and submitted the papers. While sticking to the demand for proper re-evaluation, the young students have urged the college authorities to waive off the re-evaluation fees.
Top Lead India talked to a few students from Delhi College of Arts and Commerce (DCAC) and Sri Aurobindo College who confirmed that their results are faulty.
Muskan Seth, a student in her second year of Bachelor of Arts (BA) programme, said that she had been failed in all subjects while claiming that she wrote all the papers satisfactorily. She said that, at most, she could have scored lower than pass marks in only one subject.
Jayshree Pandey from the same college but from the first year degree course said that she had been failed in Indian history and Sanskrit drama. Further, such low scores were not expected in the two subjects.
Deepa, another student from DCAC said she has been falsely given low marks (lower than pass marks) in one subject.
With so many students complaining of inappropriate evaluation, Secretary of Delhi University Student Union (DUSU) Ashish Lamba met the varsity dean and requested that fees for revaluation be waived off because of the mass error in results this year. Lamba has assured students that the last date for application of re-evaluation has been extended.
DUSU president Akshit Dahiya also met the administration to ensure that the fees are waived off. Professor Munish Sharma, of Aurobindo College, also expressed his disappointment at the development.
A staff working in the examination department at Aurobindo College, however, said that a solution will soon be found.
