Dumka: The management of Santhal Pargana College has been left red-faced after a student was found appearing for the postgraduate (PG) exam without having passed his undergraduate (UG) course.
The revelation came on Tuesday as the college authorities were conducting backlog PG examinations. The SP College is a constituent college under the Sidho Kanho Murmu University (SKMU).
The student, identified as one Srinivas Roushan, was found appearing for the third semester examinations of PG mathematics. He had enrolled in the course allegedly by procuring a college leaving certificate (CLC), which is issued to graduate pass-outs.
Sources said Roushan had enrolled in both UG and PG course and was yet to pass his UG course.
Khirodhar Prasad Yadav, principal of the college, said, "Roushan was mistakenly granted CLC on February 24. His CLC been cancelled and the head of PG mathematics department requested to cancell his enrolment."
Bimal Prasad Singh, the Pro-VC of SKMU, said he did not receive any complaint in the matter. Students' bodies in SKMU demanded a detailed probe into the incident. "There could be more such cases where failed students were given CLCs," Shyam Dev Hembrom of Chatra Samanvyaya Samiti, said. The outfit had protested outside the principal's office on Tuesday.
