4-month wait for PG Results!

4-month wait for Post Graduation Results!

Thousands of post-graduate students of the Osmania University who gave their final examinations in May this year have not yet got their results. Many of them have applied for jobs or for higher studies abroad and have had their plans thrown out of gear.

?I guess no other university in the country takes four months to evaluate answer scripts. It is September and we haven?t yet got the results. I wanted to send my certificates abroad to apply for higher education and have now missed out on getting admission in an American university,? said Mr Sreedhar K, an MSc.

(biotechnology) student.

?I had problem getting a seat in OU?s Arts College because my law results were not out. Since I am a student leader, with great difficulty, I threw my weight around and got a seat,? said Mr M. Krishank, Osmania University JAC member.

University sources say that apart from the Telangana agitation that delayed the exams, the recent controversy that followed the attack on professors from the Andhra region has further delayed the evaluation of papers. As many as 20,000 students are still awaiting their results.

University officials admit that there is a huge delay in announcing the results that will be out in a less than a week.

?We gave out results of PG programmes in Arts.

Since there are more students in Science, it is taking more time. Usually the results are declared by June but since the Telangana agitation delayed the exams, the results are also delayed,? said an official in the examination department of OU.
