In a fresh incident highlighting administrative lapses, Gujarat University has once again found itself at the centre of an examination controversy. Students appearing for a crucial exam were allegedly given the wrong question paper, leading to chaos and distress.
Exam Hall Chaos: The Wrong Paper Fiasco
The incident occurred on Saturday, January 3, at the university's School of Emerging Sciences and Artificial Intelligence. Students who had prepared for their Computer Organisation and Architecture examination were shocked to discover that the question paper handed to them was for an entirely different subject. The questions bore no relation to their syllabus, causing immediate confusion and disruption in the examination hall.
A Pattern of Negligence and Student Backlash
This is not the first time such an error has plagued Gujarat University. Student representatives were quick to point out a troubling pattern of similar mismanagement in past exams. Recently, a comparable issue was reported in the Research Methodology examination, which also triggered strong reactions from student bodies.
In response to the latest blunder, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) took immediate action. The student organization submitted a formal memorandum to the Registrar of Gujarat University. They demanded strict legal and disciplinary action against the responsible officials and staff members. The ABVP emphasized that such recurrent lapses directly jeopardize students' academic futures and mental well-being.
Systemic Failure and Threat of Agitation
The ABVP has framed the repeated exam mismanagement as a symptom of a deep-rooted systemic failure within the university's examination department. They have called for concrete measures to be implemented to prevent such errors from happening again.
The student body issued a stern warning to the university authorities. They cautioned that if timely and student-centric decisions are not taken, they will be compelled to escalate the matter by launching a statewide agitation. This threat underscores the growing frustration among students over what they perceive as persistent administrative negligence affecting their crucial academic milestones.
