Punjabi University students pay semester fee, allowed to sit in exams

Patiala, June 2

Punjabi University has managed to collect pending semester fee from students, who have to appear in exams. Earlier, in a strong worded letter, Dean (Academic affairs) had directed department heads to ensure that internal assessment marks of students, who failed to pay their semester fee, be withheld and they also be barred from appearing in ongoing exams.

The university Dean (Academic affairs), Dr BS Sandhu, said the office received information about 141 students of various departments had failed to deposit their semester fee. These students had managed to download their exam slips on mere submission of examination fee, he added.

“We can’t allow such anomalies on part of students and faculty members. The faculty has been directed to ensure that internal assessment marks of such students are not be uploaded on the university website failing which they will be held accountable,” he added.

“These students have now complied and deposited their examination fee,” he said. “Only two students have been given special permission to take exam to be held tomorrow and submit their fee thereafter,” he added.—TNS
