Students demand change in BA date sheet
Rawalpindi, March 07, 2008: Students of
Punjab University and their parents living in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and
Islamabad have demanded the university administration to change the date sheet
of BA and BSc final examinations immediately.
The students and their parents
opined that there are five consecutive papers of BA and BSc without any gap from
March 14 to 18, which is not appropriate. There is no gap among five papers
while the examination centres have been situated faraway from the students'
homes, they said adding that they would have to spend half of their day to reach
the exam centre and back home, which would leave them with a few hours for exam
preparation, therefore, an alteration should be made in the date sheet, they
demanded.
