Tripura University Students Protest Over Exam Results
By Discover Tripura Correspondent
Agartala, September 5: First-semester students of Tripura Central University staged a protest on Wednesday, blocking a national highway and demanding that they be passed. The following day, students from Maharaja Bir Bikram University joined the protest.
Students from various colleges united to demand that all students be passed. Within 24 hours, students from Maharaja Bir Bikram College and Bir Bikram College, affiliated with Maharaja Bir Bikram University, also joined the protest.
On Thursday, the students blocked the road in front of Maharaja Bir Bikram University, reiterating their demand. They argued that although they were admitted to the second semester after appearing for the first-semester exams, the university declared the results only days before the commencement of the second-semester exams, scheduled for September 19.
The students claimed that nearly 80% of the students from these two colleges had failed the first semester. They demanded that everyone be passed so they could appear for the second-semester exams. They threatened to continue the protest if their demands were not met.
When the students attempted to meet the Vice-Chancellor, they were denied an audience. Besides passing all the students, they also demanded an explanation for the late declaration of results and the high failure rate.
Upon receiving information about the incident, the College Tilla police station reached the spot. Despite talking to the students, the police were unable to control the situation. Later, the university authorities held a discussion with the students regarding the matter.
In summary, students from Tripura Central University and Maharaja Bir Bikram University have been protesting, demanding that they be passed in their first-semester exams. They are upset with the late declaration of results and the high failure rate.Tags: Tripura Others
