Uprising to Refute Date-sheet Change
The long list of upheavals in the University this year, just got longer with the changes
proposed in the examination date sheet.
With the sudden change in examination date sheet , the latest follow-up of the
rescheduling comes from the B.A Economics IIIrd year students who are much more
disturbed than the rest by the advancement in their exams by as many as ten days. The
change, which was made to accommodate for the clash in the JNU entrance exam and
one of their main papers (a 100 mark Development Theory paper), has not really solved
the purpose, and on the contrary added to their worry.
To bring their denunciation into notice, an online petition has been raised directly
addressed to the Vice Chancellor with their primary complaint being irrationality in the
post-change schedule and no time to prepare. This petition (whose link can be found on
Facebook as well) was initiated on the 10th of April and has over 100 signatories to it in
two days time.
While some refused to sign the petition on the claim of it being of no avail, most have
shown resilience and helplessness towards the autonomous decision making body of
the Delhi University and accepted the new schedule.
As the current batches fall guinea pigs of the yet-to-be-evolved semester (or sham-
ester?) system, the daily-formulating changes (the latest being that of the doing away
with application procedure and an expected sky-high cut-off), there is increasing worry
and furry among teachers and students of what’s going to be in store for the next year.
