Lucknow University Semester Exams 2022: Over 1,000 fail in Rashtra Gaurav paper

Lucknow University Semester Exams 2022: More than 1,000 students in the BA final semester at Lucknow University (LU) and associated colleges have reportedly failed in Rashtra Gaurav and environmental studies paper that tests general knowledge of India's glorious past, history, geography and general awareness.

As per Lucknow University's Examination Department, 13,392 students appeared in the examination, while 440 remained absent. Out of these, 1,041 students, mostly from affiliated colleges, failed to secure passing marks. Since 2005, the Lucknow University conducts the Rashtra Gaurav and environmental studies as a non-credit paper. It is mandatory for all students (except for the new education policy) to clear the exam once in three years to obtain a degree.

The paper consists of general awareness-related questions, including questions of history, geography, environmental education and general science. While speaking on the same, Lucknow University vice chancellor Professor Alok Kumar Rai said, "It is a non-credit course hence as per rules, LU can only guide students how to prepare for it. Since marks for this subject are not added to the final percentage of students, they do not pay attention to it. "

"To get the degree students are required to pass the exam in three years," he added.

LU teachers said "non-seriousness towards the subject, more focus on core subjects, lack of newspaper reading and poor general knowledge are reasons behind the students scoring low in the subject." Rashtra Gaurav is a compulsory subject at the undergraduate level.
Meanwhile, Lucknow University Associated College Teachers' president Professor Manoj Pandey said, "As there is no syllabus, there is no clarity amongst students regarding the subject matter. LU must have a clear vision about the paper and should make a syllabus for it."
