Students at Patna University protested vehemently on Monday against alleged irregularities in the UG Semester-3 examination results. Students who were declared failed created a ruckus on the university campus and gheraoed the Examination Controller, Prof. B.K. Lal. Under pressure, students forced Prof. Lal to write his resignation, which was then circulated on social media. However, the university administration promptly rejected the resignation.

Students from Patna Science College and several other colleges alleged that they were deliberately failed. More than 150 students have applied to the university for result correction. Among them, 74 students claim they answered all questions correctly but were still marked as failed. Many mark sheets show no marks recorded, while some students were marked absent despite appearing for the exam. In some cases, student names, subjects, and obtained marks were left blank.

Dean of Student Welfare, Prof. Kameshwar Pandit, admitted that the errors were due to the agency responsible for preparing the results. He stated that necessary corrections are being made based on the applications received from students. A crucial meeting with the Vice-Chancellor has been scheduled for Tuesday to make a concrete decision on all student grievances. The Semester-3 examinations were conducted in April-May, and the results were declared approximately ten days ago.
