Unhappy over the alleged negligence on the part of the college authority in the conduct of the ongoing BA 3rd Semester examination, students of DM College of Arts closed the office of the controller of examinations and shouted slogans in front of the administrative block of DM University on Friday.
Interacting with the media in this regard, DMC Arts Students' Union general secretary Loukrakpam Tomba said that question paper was distributed one hour after the examination commenced on the first day of the exam.
Moreover, question papers of different subjects were mixed up and distributed among the students and as such, several students could not get their question paper for the particular subject of that day.
On the other hand, students left without writing the examination on the day of theory paper of Education subject as the college authority told them that practical will be done instead of theory paper.
The same situation had occurred on February 16 when the college authority conducted practical examination instead of the scheduled exam for theory paper for Geography subject.
The mismanagement on the part of the college authority created confusion and made the students suffer, he said while demanding strict punitive action against the erring officials.
The protesting students also shouted slogans in front of the administrative block of DM University.
Later, some representatives of the students had talk with the vice-chancellor of the university at around 5 pm.
