Imphal, September 15 2022:
Students of Biotechnology Department, Manipur University staged a sit-in protest on Thursday demanding removal of one of their teachers, namely T Chanu Machathoibi for deliberately failing the students in the 3rd Semester Examination.
Speaking on the sidelines, one of the students named Nicodemus Mashangva alleged that assistant professor Machathoibi is trying to ruin the career of the students.
The professor only took classes for two topics and whenever she was requested to take class, she pushed it to the next week.
For the 3rd semester, Prof Machathoibi took only 3-4 classes.
As the examinations commenced, the students studied on their own and wrote their answers well for the Immunology paper.
However, the teacher failed the students, which is unjustifiable.
Nicodemus claimed that the teacher deliberately failed the students because of previous issues over not taking classes.
In this regard, repeated requests had been made to the former head of the department and the VC but no action was ever taken up.
Thus, he cautioned of launching intense agitations if strict disciplinary action is not initiated against the teacher in question.
