Nagpur University Result Confusion Fuels Fury As BBA Students Get B.Com Mark Sheets, Many Marked Absent

A chaos sweep engulfed students in Nagpur after numerous who showed up for BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) exams found B.Com (Bachelor of Commerce) mark sheets handed to them instead. The mistake is said to have been made at Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (RTMNU), sending the students into shock and leading them to report to university authorities with written grievances.

 

As per reports, at least three colleges' second-semester BCom (NEP) students were also reported absent in some papers, despite having attended the summer examinations. The results were announced earlier this month after a three-month delay.

 

Adding to the misunderstanding, numerous students who felt that they were studying in the BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) programme discovered their marksheets being released under BCom (Bachelor of Commerce), with "Business Administration" specified as a subject. This caused generalized misunderstanding, with the students assuming that their results were incorrect, according to the media reports.''

 

Nagpur University permitted colleges to include Business Administration as a major under the BCom degree, while the BBA programme comes under AICTE rules, involving more stringent permissions and increased fees. Avoiding this, several colleges opted to admit students for BCom with Business Administration as a major.

 

The year also saw the first instance of the exam department of the university conducting and processing exams independently with the new 50:50 examination formula instead of the earlier college-based system. The new mark sheets contain nine assessment modules, making things even more challenging for students who are not aware of the modifications.

 

According to a report in TOI, Deputy Registrar Manish Zodpe upheld that absentee errors have been resolved. He further mentioned that most of the students were not aware of the new NEP exam scheme and recommended that they cross-check their course details with their respective colleges to dispel any doubt.
