Delay in Giving Exam Results
Students of Pabna Edward College go on rampage
Students of Pabna Edward College ransacked a few departments and forced closure of the classes yesterday protesting 'unjustified' delay in publication of their honours second year results.
As many as 261 students of 15 departments of the college are yet to get the results of honours second year examinations under the National University (NU) held in February this year although results of the same examinations of their fellows were published on August 14, said the agitators.
College sources said the aggrieved students supported by a section of Bangladesh Chhatra League activists got organised from different departments and college hostels and brought out a procession on the campus at about 10:30am.
They broke the glasses of Bangla, management, accounting and economics department buildings and forced closure of the classes at the college.
Md Sajib, president of the college unit of BCL, however, denied involvement of BCL in the matter, saying, “When the results were published, many students did not find their result in internet. A total of 261 students 15 departments, including 61 students of Islamic history, faced the problem but the college authority has not taken any step for its remedy. And so, the students brought out the procession demanding publication of their results.”
"If any BCL man becomes sufferer he may have taken part in the demonstration but it does not mean that the organisation led the programme. Rather the BCL leaders tried to calm the situation," said Md Mamun Haider, secretary of the college unit of BCL.
He demanded that the college authority take immediate step for publishing results of the 261 students.
“We are investigating why the college campus turned violent due to a trivial matter,” Prof Md Shamsul Huda, principal of the college, said after an urgent meeting of the college academic council yesterday noon.
Asked why the results of 261 students were not published, the principal said, "We have already informed the National University authorities about the problem. But they are yet to respond as they are in problem after removal of their 821 staffs. We will again send letter to them in this regard."
Police has been deployed on the college campus to stave off further unwanted incident.
