There are about 655 students who will be appearing for their (honours) examination this year. Out of them about 140 students do not have the required attendance to sit for their finals. The principal allegedly allowed 32 students of the evening section to sit for the examination.
Morning shift in-charge, Mou Chatterjee, in-charge of the evening section Anil Shah along with professor Shanta Dutta and Radhanath Payn stepped down from their respective posts. They will, however, continue as professors of the college.
Professors alleged the attendance percentage of the preferred students of the evening section was increased by 10 per cent and the principal is allowing them to sit for the exam.
“Only his selective students are being allowed to sit for the exam. This discrimination cannot be accepted. We did not agree to his decision and so we have stepped down,” professor Anil Shah said.
The principal, however, said that due to reports of students’ unrest especially in the evening section of the college, parents did not send their wards to the college for a considerable time period.
“I have only allowed students of the evening section since the situation in this section last year was vulnerable and students felt insecured to come to the college. Students who have 50 per cent were given a grace percent age of 60 per cent,” the college principal, professor Ashoke Mukherjee said.
