Lamjung Agriculture Campus Students Demand Rescheduling of Exams Over Incomplete Coursework

Lamjung. Students from the fourth and sixth semesters at Lamjung Agriculture Campus have demanded the immediate publication of a new schedule for their regular examinations. Citing that their studies were disrupted by the Gen-Z movement and recent elections, students argue that holding exams before the completion of the course has jeopardized their future, prompting them to urge the Dean's office to conduct the examinations again.

During a press conference in Kathmandu on Friday, students stated that they were forced to seek justice from the Dean's office after the campus administration failed to address their grievances. Acting Free Student Union (FSU) President Ashish Paudel asserted that exams conducted without completing the course cannot be accepted under any circumstances. He insisted that the administration must acknowledge the failure to finish the syllabus on time and publish a new, legitimate schedule for the regular examinations.

Currently, approximately 200 students are enrolled in these two semesters. Accusing the campus administration of playing with the students' future, Paudel warned against keeping them in further uncertainty. The students are prepared to launch a rigorous protest if the exams are not rescheduled according to their demands. The dispute between the students and the administration centers on exams that were originally scheduled for Falgun 9 and 10, prior to the elections.

Meanwhile, the Dean's office maintains that it cannot conduct the regular examinations again, offering only to arrange for make-up exams. However, students argue that make-up exams will not resolve their issues and are demanding that the process proceed through regular channels.

Arguing that conducting exams without teaching the course constitutes an academic crime, the students have called for the serious attention of the government and relevant authorities.
