Kolkata, March 23
Jadavpur University (JU) on Friday evening published the results of English PG I&II students. The results of 130 students were on hold since January because a lecturer of the department had refused to submit the answer sheets of some students.
On March 21, the Executive Council (EC) of the university gave a clean chit to all the 16 students, directed Monojit Mandal to submit the answer scripts within the next 24 hours and had also instructed the examination board to publish the results at the earliest.
The results of the students including those of the 16 ‘disputed’ students were published. The 16 students were awarded marks on a pro rata basis. “The university has the authority to publish the result by various methods under special circumstances. We will always ensure that the students’ interest is served,” said Prof. S.K. Sanyal, vice chancellor of JU.
The students were also happy with the decision. “All we wanted was our results. Given the circumstances, the university has done its best to help us,” said Diyasree Chattopadhyay, a PG-II student.
Mandal’s wife, Baishakhi Banerjee expressed surprise about the publishing of the results without the answer scripts. “My husband never wanted to hold up results but had objections against comments made in some answer scripts,” she said.
The university would now want to ‘rescue’ the 16 answer scripts. “We will do whatever the legal experts advice us in this mater,” said Sanyal. The Fact Finding Committee constituted by the university has already suggested a CID enquiry against Mandal. The case filed by Mandal against university authorities is scheduled to come up for hearing in Calcutta High Court on March 26.
