Student
in a fix over delayed result Chandigarh, May 30 Mr Jarnail Singh was referring to the case of Usha Rani, a student of B Com II from a college in the Hoshiarpur region of the university. The result of her examination, held in September, 2002, was declared on October 23. She was not given the marksheet because she was informed to have paid Rs 100 less than the required amount of the actual fee. The candidate sent a draft of Rs 100 on November 14 to the university. The university dispatched her marksheet on April 29, 2003. When the candidate did not get her marksheet about three months after paying the late fee, she applied for re-evaluation on April 19 in anticipation of her actual result. However, her application was not accepted by the university saying that the last date of applying for the re-evaluation was March 31, 2003. Mr Jarnail Singh said he had personally met the concerned authorities but to no avail. The undue delay on part of the university was not being accepted, but, the candidate was being asked to apply to the Vice-Chancellor for a special concession. Dr Sodhi Ram, Controller of Examinations, confirmed the ‘harassment’. He said the concerned party had been asked to apply to the university and the chance would be given as per the norms. Since, the last date for application was over the candidate needed a special permission, which needed the clearance of the Vice Chancellor. The last date of applying for re-evaluation for candidates who appear in the April examination is December 31 while the candidates who appear in the September chance can apply till March 31, in routine. |

Seminar
on management education opens Chandigarh, May 30 This was said by Prof C.P. Thakur, a former Dean of the Faculty of Management Studies, Delhi University, in his keynote address at the inauguration of a two-day seminar on ‘Quality of management education in India: the challenge of change’ at the ICSSR Complex, Panjab University, here today. The seminar was organised by the University Business School. Professor Thakur, a former Member of Parliament, said services, business and industry were taking precedence over agriculture. The failure of economic reforms, fractured polity causing problems in decision-making and growth divisiveness were the three main concerns. Mr S.K.Tripathi, Secretary, Higher Education, in his inaugural address said business schools needed to change in an age where the convergence of different subjects was taking place. He said India was producing a large number of MBA graduates, but there was a need to maintain quality. Dr
S.P. Singh, Vice-Chancellor, Guru Nanak Dev University, said the gap between demand and supply of management graduates was widening and distance education was a possible alternative. He emphasised on stringent admission procedures. |

Armaan is in a different genre Though the story line is quite thin and editing could have been more tight, one can see it for the sake of Amitabh Bachchan who after a long time has played a role where he does not have to do any buffoonery (Hum kisi se kam nahin). Anil Kapoor and Gracy
Singh have acted well. Preity Zinta does not appear natural in the negative role. Randhir Kapoor, who was never considered a great actor even during the prime(?) of his career, does nothing to write about. Dialogues by Javed Akhtar are good as usual. The songs are not very hummable except ‘‘is dil ka hai kehna... samjhe’’. Hema,

Armaan is a movie sans any violence or nudity and that alone puts it in a different slot amongst the movies being churned out now-a-days. Then there are no high-pitched dialogue deliveries, no mouthing of obscenities and no ear splitting music. It reminds you of the genre of old movies of the era of Rajinder Kumar and Raj Kumar. It is a movie which can be comfortably seen in the company of your grown-up kids without your having to blush at the unashamed display of female figure (and now of males too).
