The sufferings of MBA students seem to be unending. Both, the Maharashtra government and the Nagpur University, have made a mockery of management education, leading to severe deterioration in quality and decline in its popularity all over the state. NU has now suddenly postponed the semester exams by at least a month, just like last year. As per NU sources, the exam would probably start from December second week and end by January-end.
This means the students would probably be left with no time for the next exam. Sources said that due to such mismanagement, most MBA colleges are finding it hard to fill up even half their seats, forcing the government to do away with the entrance exam, so that colleges run by politicians and bureaucrats get enough students. Officiating registrar and controller of examinations (CoE) Debendranath Mishra confirmed that the exam will not be conducted at the usual time, as summer results were delayed. "The problem lies with only first and fourth semesters, as their results were released recently. It will take time to reconduct the exam as first we have to give some time to the failed students to fill up supplementary forms and then allocate centres. Moreover, questions papers of as many as 96 subjects including optionals have to be drafted, which is an arduous task. The shortage of approved teachers is another reason," he said.
he CoE said that the 'visionaries' who drafted the syllabus and introduced as many as 96 options should be blamed for the delay. Pro-VC Arvind Chaudhari, on the other hand, asserted that the timetable has not been changed and all exams will be held on time. The head of the management department of a renowned college told TOI that the exams were slated to be conducted from November last week. "Now, if the exam is starting in mid-December, students will be left with very little time to prepare for next semester exams. Also, the exams stretch over three months, leading to literal harassment for students," he said.
