Srinagar, Sep 8, KNT: Scores of students Tuesday staged a protest here in Press Enclave Srinagar to attract the attention of Higher Education authorities towards their grievance.
“First we were promoted from 4th semester to 5th semester and when we started preparation for the 5th semester, College issued a notification asking students to prepare for the 4th semester exam again,” the students told news agency KNT.
The protesting students were from Government Collage of Engineering and Technology Safapora Bandipora.
They said that University Grants Commission (UGC) had promoted them from 4th semester to 5th semester before 4 months. “But now College has issued a notification, asking us to be prepared for exams of 4th semester. After mass promotion of 4th semester we had already submitted our assignments. We are not prepared for the said exam because we were preparing for 5th semester. This is injustice towards us,” the protesting students said.
They accused College authorities of ruining their career and taking decisions without keeping the students interests in mind.
Students were carrying placards which read,: ‘attention higher education department, listen to our cries for Justice,’ ‘stop playing with our future’, ‘wake up from slumber @GCET Safapora.’ (KNT)
