Students hold protests against Malwa Central College for not allowing to sit in BEd exams

A group of students staged a protest against the Malwa Central College of Education for Women, Ludhiana, after they were not allowed to appear for the BEd examinations. The protesting students including girls and few visually challenged students also interacted with MLA Gurpreet Gogi.

It must be noted that they were given the admission earlier on a provisional basis by the college as they had not appeared in the entrance exam for the BEd course. The protesting student raised slogans against the management and the state government. They said after their getting admission to the college, they attended classes for nearly six months. However, they were not issued roll numbers to appear in the examinations that started today. They demanded that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann must hear their voice and ensure justice.

A protesting student said: “We had not appeared in the entrance exam for the BEd course. However, the college authorities had claimed that the government would allow those students who had not appeared in the entrance exam to appear in the BEd examinations if seats remain vacant, as happens every year. They had asked us to pay a fee of INR 5,000 to get a seat in the BEd course reserved. Once we paid the fee as demanded by the college, we were given admission to the college and allowed to attend classes."

“Identity cards were also issued to us. Our attendance was also marked like those students who got admission through the entrance exam. When we went to get roll numbers, the college authorities claimed that a case is sub judice in a court and roll numbers can’t be issued without the court orders. There are 53 students of our college who were not allowed to sit in the examinations today. We are demanding justice,” the student said.
