No Inter Exams for Sri Vasavi Junior college students

Hyderabad, March 1: Nearly 400 Intermediate students of Sri Vasavi Junior College, Vanasthalipuram will not be able to appear for the intermediate exams beginning Wednesday.Because of their Hall tickets were not issued by the Board of Intermediate Education (BIE).

While Speaking to media, the students claimed that they were repeatedly denied hall tickets over the past few days, with the college asking them to come later each time.

The college's principal, identified as Srinivas, took examination fees from the students but did not pay the fees to BIE, which is required to get the students registered for intermediate exams. Moreover, the college had changed its location without intimating the BIE.

Students have suffered for the mistake of college's principal, they also concerned about the Board examinations.

Students and parents staged a protest at the college and later, organized a stir outside the Intermediate Board - seeking hall-tickets. But all efforts failed. The college's management did not turn up at the scene of the protests.



The students refused to budge from the spot until Tuesday night when the police arrived and later filed a case at the Vanasthalipuram police station.

Speaking to media, Dr. A Ashok, secretary, Board of Intermediate Education, said, "The students should have felt suspicious and approached us when they did not receive hall tickets for the two compulsory exams or at least when they did not give practical examinations. The students and parents blindly believed the principal when he told them that it is not a cause of worry."

Ashok also told that, "Now it is too late. As the students will be marked absent for practical and the two compulsory exams, the system will automatically regard them as failed. They need to give instant supplementary exams now."

The students have demanded that the college management be arrested and have asked for a detailed probe into the incident.

They have also asked that a provision be made, for them to attempt their exams, despite the BIE stating that it will not happen.
