Calcutta University Exams Cancelled?, CU Exams Delayed, No Dates for meetings, Calcutta University Latest News
Calcutta University's Bold Move: A Defiant Step for Students' Future !!
In
an unexpected turn of events, Calcutta University (CU) recently held a crucial
meeting, known as the syndicate meeting, despite not getting official
permission from the West Bengal education department. This meeting was really
important because it was needed to approve the rules for upcoming exams in the
new four-year undergraduate program. Without these rules, the first semester
exams in January were at risk of being cancelled.
Why the Syndicate Meeting is a Big
The
meeting happened on a Tuesday and was a big deal because it was necessary to
move forward with the rules for exams that had already been approved by the
university's examination regulations committee. The person in charge of keeping
things organized at CU, Registrar Debasis Das, stressed how important this
meeting was. If it didn't happen, the future of more than 1 lakh students
across 140 affiliated colleges would be in trouble.
The Controversy Over Who's in Charge?
What
makes this story even more interesting is that the West Bengal education
department said no to CU having this meeting. Despite the refusal, the
university went ahead and had the meeting anyway. This has caused quite a bit
of controversy. The Telegraph reported that when they tried to contact
university officials for comments, there was no response. This adds to the
confusion and raises questions about who has the authority to make decisions.
Adding
to the confusion is the fact that CU has been led by an acting vice-chancellor
since June, someone chosen by the governor without consulting the state
government. This goes against the rules set in 2019 that say the state
government needs to give permission for meetings like these when there's no
full-term vice-chancellor.
What This Means for Students?
All
this controversy and back-and-forth have created a lot of uncertainty for
students. University activities are on hold, and it's unclear when things will
go back to normal. However, one thing stands out—Calcutta University is
determined to look out for its students. Even in the face of challenges, the
university is focused on making sure students can continue their education.

situation is still developing, and we'll keep you updated on any new
information. Stay tuned for more updates on Calcutta University and how it's
navigating these challenges to support its students.
