AHMEDABAD: Over 20,000 students of the final semester of the Bachelor of Engineering degree course at the Gujarat Technological University (GTU) are still waiting for their results. The examination ended on May 9.
Several students who have gotten admission in universities abroad face the threat of cancellation of their admission if there is further delay in declaring the results. Officials said that they are flooded with inquiries regarding the declaration of the result.
Usually the results are declared within 40 days of the examination, but this year, 50 days have passed and students are still waiting for their results.
GTU officials said that the assessment of the answer sheets was completed on Monday, so the university hopes to declare the result by next week.
GTU officials said that the delay in results was only because few professors wanted to check the papers online from home. Earlier, the GTU used to assemble the professors at one place and get the papers checked. In order to give professors the luxury of checking papers from their residence, the GTU decided to give usernames and passwords to the professors, who were however reluctant to use their own internet.
Wait gets longer:
The wait for the final merit list stretches on, keeping the 68,000 students who have applied for admission to engineering colleges on tenterhooks. The Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC) had assured students that the final merit list will be declared by Monday, but Monday has passed and the merit list has still not been declared. The ACPC has now promised to announce the merit list on Tuesday. Merit marks are essential for students as well as college administrators, as these will be used to finalize admissions to engineering colleges.
