Friday's ransacking of the Nagpur University office by a youth Shibli Malik due to alleged apathy by officials raises a big question mark as to why the institution has been a target of students' ire time and again and who's at fault.
A majority of attacks were out of sheer frustration of the students as they either failed to clear the exam on account of poor evaluation or lost an academic year due to delay in result declaration. Even the worst ever attacks, in which BJYM activists created havoc in February 2009, were more or less for the same reason. Academicians and students blamed the NU bosses for delay in declaration of results, but flayed the hooliganism, demanding stringent action against those damaging NU's property.
Senior academician Eknath Kathale admitted that there was a delay in declaration of results, but justified it stating that NU officials had to follow certain procedure. "What they can do is to expedite the process, but they don't seem to be serious about it," he said.
Delay in declaration of results is another issue that troubles students. Another academician, requesting anonymity, stated this was the biggest loophole which the NU had failed to plug. "The problem has worsened owing to mushrooming of colleges. You can't blame the students for saying that revaluation is just for namesake and there is no time limit to declare the results. Why don't you stop this facility," he asked.
Even students flayed NU bosses for various problems related to the exam including delay in result declaration. "The results are declared so late that he/she has to unnecessarily appear for another round of exams. A student getting inside the NU and creating a chaos speaks volumes of its functioning," Mandar Tulankar, an engineering student who had undergone a similar problem, said.
Another student Pooja Agarwal found nothing wrong Malik's rage. "He was completely justified. There's a limit to the tolerance. Undoubtedly, the evaluators and NU staff should share the blame. Why the students will apply for revaluation if papers are properly checked at the first instance?" she asked.
