The Money suckers

How do you feel when u don’t sleep for days, just sit in front of the book to revise lessons for days during the exam & when the results are out you are quite depressed???? Well this is what happening these days to most of the students of engineering in my university. We just struggle each day to learn the things, solve 100s of numerical & finally give the exam. The result most of the time would either be a “D” grade or “F” grade (D is for just pass & F is for fail). This is the condition of students in BPUT. Some days back I with a few friends of mine just interacted with a teacher about the results & we were just shocked to hear what he said.

We heard that most of the faculties with a little or no experience at all (i.e., just passed out from the college the same year) go to the university to evaluate copies just for the sake of getting money. The more number of copies means more money. Whatever the student writes they simply just either point it to be correct or just put a cross on it. Even if the answer is correct but written in a different style is a wrong answer. And horrible is in the case of subjects involving mostly numerical. If the answer is correct & the steps are wrong then that solution is correct & if the process is correct but the final answer is wrong due to some wrong calculation, they simply cross it. The worst part is when questions come from outside the syllabus. Once it so happened, I was giving again a paper & had prepared very well, but the moment I saw the questions I became tensed. The reason was most of the questions were not from that semester subject but were from the higher semester ,which I found later after consulting some of my friends. I failed in that paper & even no grace mark was given for it. Another fault I found was when a friend of mine just passed in a subject with good marks & he had not written anything in the paper & had walked out of the room after 1 hour. Friends sitting nearby him had seen the paper had been cut by that guy & he was also sure that he would also fail in it, but after the declaration of the result & that too after 2 months (earlier it was 20-25 days & the result was perfect) he passed with a very good grade & rest either failed in it or just passed with “D”. If a student fails in a particular subject he/she has to give it again by paying every time fees of Rs 200/- per paper untill the student passes in the subject.

Students have protested many a times but the same time police would intervene in it & try to put students in jails. No one really listens or care about all these things. Last time a protest was done; local political party members got mixed with the students & started destroying public properties.

This is BPUT where money is spent like water & anybody who wishes to spend money is welcome to this university.
