SFI Telangana committee wants State government to conduct pending degree semester exams

Members express concerns over non-conduct of the examinations in Kakatiya, Palamuru, Telangana, Satavahana and Mahatma Gandhi universities

Hyderabad: The Students Federation of India (SFI) Telangana committee demanded the State government immediately initiate measures to conduct the long-pending degree semester examinations in several State universities.

In a representation submitted to TGCHE Chairman Prof V Balakista Reddy on Friday, SFI Telangana president S Rajnikanth and T Nagaraju expressed concerns over non-conduct of the examinations in Kakatiya, Palamuru, Telangana, Satavahana and Mahatma Gandhi universities.

The examinations were supposed to be completed by the end of April. However, they were not concluded, creating a lot of confusion and chaos among students, the SFI Telangana committee said.

The students’ body highlighted that due to delay in release of fee reimbursement arrears by the State government, the private degree colleges refused to cooperate with the universities in holding the semester examinations.

A total of 4.89 lakh students are pursuing degree programmes in five universities and more than one lakh students are in the final year. Delay or not holding the exams will jeopardise career prospects of final year students, they said.
