Dharmendra Pradhan letter to Odisha CM on timely UG results

BHUBANESWAR: Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan has written to chief minister Naveen Patnaik seeking his intervention for immediate declaration of results of undergraduate (UG) students in the state and issuance of provisional final year/semester results or marksheets.
Pradhan stated that students aspiring to take admission in PG courses are worried over the delay. The students have appeared for the final semester examinations online in the first and second week of August. But its results are expected to be declared in September, he added.
Despite repeated requests by students, they have not been provided with provisional marksheets, added the Union minister, who said he has received many complaints from students in this regard.
He said students need to submit their final marksheet or an attested provisional marksheet for PG admissions in the state and outside. Many students have missed the admission deadline for some universities and are under stress due to fast approaching deadlines of other universities. Sharat Kumar Majhi, controller of examination, Utkal University, said, “They are evaluating the answer papers of UG final year students. We have decided to publish the results on September 7 and issue the marksheets to students immediately.”
A higher education department official said the government has asked the colleges and universities to publish the results by the second week of September and the institutions are working on it. The Centre should have extended the deadlines of central universities considering the UGC’s July guideline on examinations and academic calendar, he added.
