“This indicates the irresponsible way of workings of the University. Till today, the university has not published any guidelines or their stance, either on their website or in print media.

It is only after we forced them to issue letters to principals of all law colleges instructing them to allow all qualifying candidates to enter the exam halls upon checking their previous year’s certificate, did they relent,” said Dr Abhijit Vaidya, president, SYS.

The SYS has demanded that the university make an inquiry into this incident and take action against those responsible, and to declare preventive measures to ensure no repeat incidents.

Apart from this issue, the SYS sought declaration of results as soon as the exams get over or else it will stage an agitation in front of the examination department.

Vithalrao Sathe, senior official of UoP’s exam department said that the colleges themselves should have rectified the errors instead of sending the students to the university.u00a0
