Private Inter colleges protest jumbling system
Affiliated Private Junior College Managements Association (APJCMA) on Wednesday staged a dharna in front of the Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) here on Wednesday demanding that the government scrap the jumbling system in Intermediate practical examinations.
Vijayawada: Affiliated Private Junior College Managements Association (APJCMA) on Wednesday staged a dharna in front of the Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) here on Wednesday demanding that the government scrap the jumbling system in Intermediate practical examinations.
Representatives of the APJCMA from various parts of the state participated in the dharna. APJCMA president MSR Anjaneyulu, general secretary V V Prasad speaking on the occasion alleged that the government had introduced jumbling system for practical examinations to benefit corporate colleges.
They said the students were already burdened with Intermediate syllabus, Eamcet and other competitive examinations and they are not able to go other colleges for the practicals as per the jumbling system. They said this jumbling system was introduced only in Intermediate education and questioned the need for it.
The college managements alleged that two big corporate groups would benefit with the jumbling system because the students of one colleges are sent to other and vice versa.
They submitted a representation to the commissioner of BIE B Udaya Lakshmi. Meanwhile, the BIE commissioner during discussions with the leaders of the APJCMA categorically stated that board would not change the jumbling system for practical exams.
She said the board had not received either complaints or suggestion from the students and parents against the system.
She said the government college lecturers were drafted as examiners in the practical examinations. She further said private college lecturers were posted in the government colleges during the examinations to prevent irregularities in the examinations.
Udaya Lakshmi said the Inter board would receive suggestions from the APJCMA, students and parents on the issue. She said the board was facing problems in Vijayawada, Vizag, Tirupati and other big cities where government colleges were very few and students studying in corporate colleges were in huge numbers.
In Vijayawada city, only three government colleges were there and more than 30 Intermediate colleges, she said and questioned how students of 30 private colleges can attend practical examinations in three government colleges.
