30000 students debarred by OU
It could be the most shocking and most unexpected incident in the history of Indian education and it can happen only in Hyderabad. According to latest reports, the Osmania University authorities have gone ahead and debarred a massive strength of 30000 students from writing the annual examinations.
This is on the grounds of poor attendance and the count belongs to all the students who come under colleges affiliated to the university. As a result, only 70000 students out of 1 lakh were allowed to sit for the examinations. The students who were debarred had below 20% attendance.
Justifying their decision, the authorities have reportedly made it clear that no indiscipline will be tolerated from now onwards. But the students are not happy with it. They are blaming the Telangana agitation and how they were forced not to attend classes by Telangana activists. Let us see how things take shape now.
