Submission deadline near, but forms not available
Doraha, November 12 The Superintendent of GGN College, Doraha, said the forms were in short supply at the university campus and one of their employees had to return empty handed due to their non-availability. On one hand, December 3 has been fixed as the last date for submission of the forms while on the other hand, some of the colleges are yet to receive them from the university as the university officials reply that the forms are being printed. As it requires more than a month to complete the forms in all respects, it is next to impossible to submit them in time. “Once the forms are available, they are given to the students to be completed by them, then counter-checked by the teachers, again typed, prepared separately and when you have hundred of such forms to be examined it becomes a Herculean task,” he added. The penalty for each form submitted late is Rs 1000. The Principal, Dr Jhanji of A S College for Boys, Khanna, said earlier the last date for submission used to be December 25. The university should extend the last date of submission of the forms at least to the December 15 so that hurried submission is avoided. Moreover, this time the load has increased all the more as the colleges are supposed to attach the examination forms, filled in all respects, along with the Pupil’s numbers of BA-I, B.Com I and BCA-I classes,” he added. “Since the last date of submission of forms by private candidates has been increased from November 3 to November 18, the University shall do it better to increase the date of the submission of forms of the regular students too since the colleges are finding it difficult to complete all formalities required in the forms within the stipulated time,” said Prof Jagdev Singh Grewal, Principal, Guru Nanak National College, Doraha.
