BUHS students protest years' delay in nursing, paramedical courses, exam, results

The Bihar University of Health Science (BUHS) students association has appealed to all nursing and paramedical students to join a protest in Patna, demanding an overhaul of the examination process, timely release of results, and action against irregularities in the college exams.

The BUHS students’ group has organised the protest from Kargil Chowk, Patna to Bihar chief minister’s residence. The protest by the BUHS students was over the years of delay in conducting examination, result release and extra fees.

According to the students, the courses that should have been completed in 3 to 4 years, are being delayed for years . The university has also announced exams for next semester without releasing the previous semester’s results, they added.

'BUHS deliberately delaying semester exams'

Moreover, the university is ‘deliberately’ delaying the session to fill the vacant seats in private colleges to benefit them, the students’ claim.

“Despite collecting the regular exam fee of Rs 2,850, an additional and arbitrary burden of Rs 1,000 per subject is imposed,” according to the BUHS’s whatsapp channel.

According to an official whatsapp channel of BUHS, all college chairmen met with the VC and registrar at BUHS to raise the students' concerns about how the session was running late.
