A Bihar university, which was last year caught in a row over issuing a fake law degree to Delhi minister and AAP MLA Jitender Singh Tomar, is in the news once again for wrong reasons. This time, it is for allgedly forgetting to provide question papers in exam to at least 94 students.
The students could not take their post graduation examination in Hindi as the question paper wasn’t available. Taking a strong note of the matter, the Vice-Chancellor of Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University, Nalini Kant Jha has served show cause notices to in-charge of Hindi department and section officer of the examination control department.
All 94 students turned up for last paper of the second semester post-graduation Hindi exam but found that the question papers had not arrived from the printing press.
The VC said the examination has been rescheduled for April 22. While exams of three papers had been held, the students could not take the examination for the final one as question papers could not be printed in time.
When the Registrar of the university inquired from the Controller of Examinations, he was told the question papers were not delivered by the printing press.
The university already sparked a row after AAP MLA Jitender Singh Tomar was sacked as Delhi’s law minister. The degree was allegedly issued to Tomar on the basis of “forged and falsified” documents with the connivance of some employees of the university.
