UNRULY SCENES were witnessed here at the Convocation Hall of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gorakhpur University where thousands of the students were eagerly waiting for their admit cards but no responsible person was there to ensure the distribution of these cards.
The private girl students appearing in the examination were the worst sufferers as the windows allotted for the distribution of admit cards to them were closed.
When Hindustan Times contacted examination controller Ajay Srivastav on phone, he said that the admit cards were handed over to the Dean of the Faculty and it was the duty of the deans to ensure the distribution. However, he said if any studenthad not got the admit card, the university authorities would try to ensure the distribution of the cards even before the commencement of the examination.
It may be noted that the university examination will start from Saturday at various centres. Around two lakh students are appearing in the examination and 11 flying squads have been constituted under the supervision of Prof Vinay Pandey and Sanjay Baijal for copying-free examinations.
Meanwhile, members of Gorakhpur University Affiliated Colleges Teachers’ Association (GUACTA) have decided not to participate or support the examination process at self-financed colleges in DDU Gorakhpur University.
In a meeting of the GUACTA office-bearers held under the chairmanship of the president of the association Kripa Shanker Singh, the members of the association demanded that the examination centre incharge at self-financed colleges be a duly recognised principal from the university.

They expressed shock that the examination committee had not given guidelines on this issue and had even ignored the suggestions of the association.
Secretary of the association Shashi Mani Tripathi said that transparency and copying-free examination and its credibility had come under a shadow by the apathetic attitude of the examination committee.
Contrary to this , examination controller Ajay Srivastav said that Vice-Chancellor of the university Ajay Kumar had suggested that the teachers of affiliated degree college be nominated as observers of the examination in self-financed colleges.
He said it was ridiculous that the teachers were interested in becming centre incharges of the examination in the same college but they were not interested in becoming observers.
