NU extends all four deans' tenure till June 15
Nagpur: The Nagpur University administration has extended the tenure of all four deans and their associate deans on Tuesday. Their original tenure was to end on April 29 due to a holiday on Wednesday. The tenure of the exam director post, held on additional charge by dean of commerce and management faculty, Sanjay Kavishwar, was also automatically extended. A fresh circular directing partial changes in the earlier order to relieve the deans on April 30 afternoon was posted on the NU website. However, the question about keeping the deans' posts filled beyond June 15 still persists. This is because the NU doesn't have a full-time vice chancellor following the death of Subhash Chaudhari in September last year. In the event of a VC's death, deans are allowed to continue till the end of the academic year , which ends on April 30. NU officials contested that although officially the academic year must end on April 30, academic activities, especially exams, continue until mid-June. Hence, the extension of another 45 days was justified. However, as the appointment of a new VC, even if it starts now, will stretch beyond June 15, the possibility of the deans' posts falling vacant is high. Faculties of science and technology, commerce and management, and humanities have an associate dean each, besides a full-time dean. The interdisciplinary studies faculty has a lone dean. The extension of the deans ensures continuity in academic and administrative functions during the ongoing transition.

NU law paper sticks to old IPC instead of BNS, students left stumped
1 2 Nagpur: Several second-year law students have complained that out-of-syllabus questions were asked during their exam last week. Students said their syllabus was revised, and the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was replaced by Bharatiya Nyay Sahita (BNS). However, during the exam, two major questions carrying 10 marks each were on IPC. The NU exam section said they too received a complaint and would be referring the matter to the Board of Studies. According to a student from a private law college, earlier in their course, they had been taught IPC sections. Then, in the middle of the semester, the administration informed them that the students would have to study the BNS. They had also received a revised syllabus, which clearly mentioned that the BNS would replace IPC. The students then started studying the BNS sections, but during their final exam of the subject 'Law of Crime', they were asked questions related to the IPC sections. One of the teachers informed the students that despite the notification from NU to teach BNS, students got the IPC questions in their exams, which came as a surprise to the college and the students. "Actually, the students were confused with the sections of IPC and BNS, and we have asked the University not to do injustice to the students even if the sections are wrongly quoted," said Rajan, director of Central India College of Law. Sanjay Kavishwar, director, Board of Examinations and Evaluation, told TOI that so far just one exam centre has reported the issue, and it has to be referred to the Board of Studies for consideration. "The question paper would be reviewed, and a decision would be taken," he said.
