Ctg Nursing College students stage sit-in for holding exams
Students of Chittagong Nursing College here yesterday staged a sit-in to press home their demands, including immediate holding of the year-final examination scheduled to be held in December last year.
Some 100 students of second year staged a demonstration in front of the college principal's room at around 10:30am. At one stage the agitating students locked the room.
Students of the batch, who got admitted during 2008-09 session in December alleged that their first-year final examination was scheduled to be held in December last year. But the college authorities failed to hold the examination during the last eight months creating session jam.
Their other demands include hostel facility for male students and upgrading the standard of nursing education. Students alleged that they met the principal and Chittagong Medical College (CMC) director several times demanding the same but got no response.
The students left the spot around 1:30pm after CMC Assistant Director Dr Saroj Barua assured them of taking steps to announce the examination schedule by September 20.
When contacted Principal Jhinu Das said BSc Nursing Institute was affiliated with Chittagong University in 2008 as a new course and shifted into the college. This conversion along with all the academic procedures took some delay causing the present session jam.
She said they are trying to hold the examination in September.
