NEW DELHI : A question on beef in a semester exam in Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has allegedly caused controversy with students protesting and complaining to the vice-chancellor, as per various reports. The question “Write a classification of beef. Define” was asked in Bachelor of Vocation (BVOc)’s catering technology and hotel management paper for semester two students.
A photograph of the question paper has gone viral on social media which shows that the question was part of long answer type questions in section-A and carried 15 marks. There were a total of three questions in that section and students had to attempt any two. The other two questions were: “Give the introduction of soup and write its classification” and “What is sauce? What is the difference between sauce and gravy?”. The duration of the exam was three hours and the question paper carried a total of 70 marks.

According to reports, students of the university wrote to the vice-chancellor Sudhir Jain to suspend those involved in drafting of the question paper.
Meanwhile, students have been protesting against the BHU fee-hike for nearly a week now. The new proposal for increase in fees will be implemented for students taking admission this year, BHU announced while calling fee-hike claims “baseless”. A huge torch procession was taken out from the Student Union Bhawan to Singh Dwar as part of the ongoing indefinite agitation by the ABVP BHU unit on Wednesday.
