Chandigarh, April 15
Widespread resentment reigned among the B. Sc (Electronics) students of Shri Guru Gobind Singh College, Sector 26, today as the question paper of ‘Principles of Communication Systems’ was distributed among them an hour late.

As many as nine students who took the examination complained that the distribution of the paper was delayed and the questions were just scribbled on a piece of paper.

Talking to Chandigarh Tribune, Robin, one of the students, said the question paper was not typed and it appeared as if the questions had been hurriedly written.

Nimish, another student too rued that the entire paper was more theoretical and the technical aspect of the paper was ignored.

According to Sonika, though the paper was lengthy and was distributed late, the students were constantly asked to hurriedly finish the paper.

Meanwhile, the college Principal, Dr Kuldeep Singh, when contacted, said he would look into the matter and send a representation to the university if required.
