JAMMU, Sep 21: Jammu University (JU) has registered unfairness means cases against six students who were caught yesterday by the University flying squads after their photos did not match with the records of the university.

Sources said that all of them were B.ed students, of Vimal Muni College at Sarore whose examination centre was at New Millennium College, run by a influential politician. During routine visit by the flying squads established by the Jammu university for the smooth conduct of the exams, they had found that photographs on the roll number slips were not matching with the photographs on the attendance register.



Sources said that Vice-Chancellor, Varun Sahni has constituted a committee directing them to conduct investigation in the whole issue. Though students had claimed that they could not visit Jammu to submit their photographs for the roll number slips, their friends pasted their own photos, but authorities are not buying the theory. 

Controller Examination, Prof. G.M Bhat said that they can only say anything after the investigation is over and till then they will not be allowed to appear in the examination. “We are investigating the whole issue and after the report is filed, steps will be taken against the people involved”, Bhat said.
 


Despite strict measures taken by the Jammu University (JU) to ensure foolproof security during the B.ed examination which started on September 20, reports say that many of the colleges are still allowing the students to use unfair means.

Nearly 25,000 students are appearing in the B.ed examination, management of which is always a headache for the JU administration, which are facing criticism for mismanagement.
 


For the first time, candidates appearing in B.ed exams this year have been allotted separate examination centres, ending the system under which they used to appear in their respective colleges. 


Officials said that though management of various colleges are not happy with the new system and are trying to pressurize the university to continue with the existing pattern, but there is unlikely to be any change.
