Law students complain of out of syllabus questions in re-exam too
The Hindu
Test held in January for the same paper was cancelled after similar grievance
Law students in affiliated colleges of Mahatma Gandhi University remain worried as they had to face questions from out of the syllabus for the second time this year.
The questions from out of the syllabus appeared in the fifth semester examination paper in Constitutional Law I held on Wednesday. Interestingly, this was a re-examination for the same paper as the earlier exam held on January 29 this year was cancelled in view of the questions from out of the syllabus. The notification for re-examination scheduled for October 26 was published on September 30.
The anxious students blamed the university authorities for playing with their future by coming up with such errors and placing them under stress over whether the exam held on Wednesday would be cancelled again. “We are now in the ninth semester of our course and will complete it by next year as per the original schedule. If the exams are cancelled, we will lose one year besides affecting our future programmes,” said a student in an affiliated college here.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
