Attack on students at NU

published in DS on 6 May, 2004 , caught my attention. It is not fair to display the power of authority. Five demands were placed to the NU by the college students. The demands were (i) Reforming the NU syllabus (ii) Allowing teachers of NU affiliated colleges to prepare question papers (iii) Preparing an NU calendar (iv) Holding exams at a specific time and (v) Allowing students to retake exams only in the subjects in which they failed. As a second year student of English, I support these fully.

However, our results were published after ten months. Because of the new rules, many students were in panic whether they would pass or not. My friends were the worst victims of these new rules.

I urge the NU authorities to ponder over this matter and accept the demands so that all the students get a fair deal.
