CHANDIGARH: There is a widespread furore on the Panjab University campus over the MBA candidate, who was given grace marks to enable him to pass after his three attempts failed.PS Sangha, a senator, says, "They have violated rules and regulations and have been doing so in the past also. What punishment was given to the person who created the trouble by providing the wrong question paper?" The student could have been given the right question paper and asked to clear the paper, he adds.
G K Chatrath, another senator, says, "The VC has got absolute majority in the senate.
Many times he does not allow us to record our dissent." "As regards granting concession to the students of honours school, the VC and some senators had maintained that academic standards should not be compromised. Then how did they allow awarding MBA degree to a student who never cleared all the papers?" asks Ashok Goyal, another senator.Prof Akhtar Mahmood, a syndic, says the person who had given the question paper set on the basis of old syllabus to the candidate should be identified before taking a final decision.However, the authorities have not clarified what action they took against the teacher, who provided the wrong question paper.
