cancelled the private candidates' examinations being conducted by the
Agra University, sources said on Tuesday. More than a lakh students,
whose exams were to end June 18, have been affected.
Principal Secretary for Higher Education B.K. Gupta, who conducted an
investigation into the examination conduct on May 20 and 21, submitted
his report to the government a few days ago.
"The whole system was running Ram Bharose," the investigating
officials have said in their report.
The report has recommended action against the Delhi-based agency Leela
Jay Technology, responsible for the sale of examination forms and
issuance of hall tickets.
The state government has ordered a special audit of the whole process
of tendering and expenses incurred in conducting the private
candidates' examinations.
"The university is stunned and no one is around to clarify what is
going on here," commented a student leader.
University sources on Tuesday said besides transferring the finance
officer, the state government has also suspended several top
officials, including a former registrar and two deputy registrars of
the varsity.
More than Rs.25 crore collected from the students through sale of
forms will go waste, according to rough estimates.
University officials could not give any specific dates regarding the
rescheduling of the exams.
Charges of unfair practices and wholesome irregularities have been
periodically made by affected students. This is the fourth
postponement of examinations for private candidates. IANS
