Favouring the blue-eyed boy
KARACHI, March 8(The News): The reports gleaned from the university officials have suggested that
there was a miscarriage of educational justice when the varsity high ups allowed
86 failed students to clear the Final MBBS Supplementary Exam-2006 so that the
one blue-eyed candidate could go through the examination.
According to
the details gathered on Wednesday, 139 students had failed in the supplementary
exam, which was held in September and the results were announced in December
2006. Even the marks sheets were issued to the students. There was some
arm-twisting of the university officials by a very 'influential' person sitting
on a high pedestal of the govt.
It was decided that other failed ones,
who were ahead of the blue-eyed student, had to be declared successful to allow
the favoured student pass the examinations. The entire chain of command, from
the powerful to the lesser mortals of the varsity, went verbally and there was
no notification of the results from the university.
The university rules
forbid such arbitrarily changing of the results and nobody can do it without
going through the Academic Council and other statutory bodies of the university.
The present acting Controller of Examinations was working on a post of
BPS-20 while he was actually in BPS-18. This made him a person that could be
bullied and ordered by others to do unwanted things. That was like browbeating
by the high graders to a lower grader.
In an unrelated incident the KU
has detected a case of forged intermediate certificate from the Board of
Intermediate and Secondary Education, Hyderabad.
According to the
details, one Kanahyya Lal, son of Mohan Lal, sought admission in Fatima Jinnah
Medical and Dental College in BDS after presenting a marks sheet with 862 marks
in 2004.
The marks sheet, when sent to the BISE, Hyderabad, revealed that
he had obtained 639 marks. Consequently, his admission was cancelled and the
results of First Year Professional BDS examination that he had already taken,
were also declared null and void.
