In an unprecedented incident due to miscommunication, many first year students of Calcutta University missed their BA general political science Paper 1 exam on Thursday.
The students thought that their exam was on July 14 and did not turn up at the exam hall. But when they realised the mistake, they came to their respective colleges and stated protesting. The principals informed the university. CU hurriedly called a meeting and announced that the students who could not take the exam would appear for the test on July 14.
CU said the original routine from BA Part I was drawn up in May and it slated the exam on July 12. However, after the enrolment for first year was completed in mid June, the university realised that the number of students taking the exam was huge and so split the test.
One section of students was supposed to take the exam on July 12 and the remaining on July 14. A circular was send to all colleges on June 14 but as students were preparing for the exam in their homes, few noticed it. The language of the notice according to some students was complicated and many thought that their exam would be held on July 14.
The Pro Vice Chancellor (Academic) of CU, Suranjan Das said, “There was a miscommunication. No student will be penalised for not turning up.”
