New Delhi: Around 50-60 Delhi University law students who appeared for their semester examinations have alleged they were marked absent in the results declared earlier in July, despite their signatures on the attendance sheets. University officials have confirmed they have received complaints regarding the same.
A final-year Campus Law Centre student, not wishing to be named, said he appeared for the Administrative Law examination on May 28, the results for which were declared on July 30. Another student who appeared for the Constitutional Law paper held on May 18, results for which were also announced on July 30, also alleged he was marked absent. He said his office had received 50-60 such complaints from the Faculty of Law, adding it was a small number compared with the total batch of about 10,000 students.
Because of which the result is withheld and the student is marked absent, there can be discrepancies, such as a candidate filling in the wrong roll number,. Tuteja said the administration was working to resolve the discrepancies, so that final-year students get their consolidated results at the earliest for registration with Bar Council of India. In such cases, the result is withheld and announced after the discrepancy is resolved,” Tuteja said.
“The results are announced only after ensuring the discrepancies are less than 0.5%,” he said. “Our office staff will also be working over the weekend to resolve these issues,” he added. “These are cases where a red entry was made. In some cases, students appear in the wrong room, leading to discrepancies in the examination records or marksheet.
“I am worried whether my marks will be awarded from my own answer sheet or whether my marksheet has been misplaced. This also raises questions about the credibility of the evaluation process,” he added.
