CU Oriental Language students boycott exams
Sangskrit students of the Oriental Languages (Pali and Sangskrit) department of Chittagong University (CU) boycotted first year final examination-2010 yesterday demanding two separate examination committees for Pali and Sangskrit.
Students of Sangskrit language said from the very beginning of the department there were always being formed two examination committees in the department for Pali and Sangskrit as the syllabus for the subjects are totally different.
But for the first time a single examination committee has been formed comprising the teachers of Pali this year, they said, adding that they were boycotting examinations for this reason.
Associate Prof Jyotish Barua, chairman of the examination committee, said showing lame excuse students of Sangskrit students did not appear in the examination.
The demand of the students is completely illogical according to university ordinance-2009-2010, he added.
