All Nagaland College Students’ Union flags irregularities in Nagaland University semester results

DIMAPUR — The All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) has raised serious concerns over the recently declared undergraduate results of the 2nd, 4th, and 6th semesters under Nagaland University, terming the outcome as disappointing and reflective of continued lapses in professionalism and sincerity on the part of the university.

In a letter addressed to the Vice Chancellor of Nagaland University, ANCSU expressed its deep anguish, stating that year after year, the university continues to neglect its responsibilities in declaring semester results in a timely and credible manner. The union pointed out that the results declared on July 8 and July 11 have once again highlighted systemic issues that not only undermine student confidence but also tarnish the reputation of the university and its affiliated institutions.

The ANCSU noted with concern the “unusually high” backlog rate among students in the 2nd and 4th semesters this academic year. Citing interactions with students and college authorities, the union said the situation is alarming and poses a risk to the academic future of thousands of students.

It questioned the university’s handling of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, citing irregularities such as missing student names, discrepancies in results for Value-Added Courses (VAC), and cases where students declared passed in previous semesters were now being shown as having backlogs.

Highlighting these discrepancies, ANCSU reiterated its longstanding appeal for a review of the mark moderation process to make it more student-friendly. It maintained that such measures are necessary to reduce failures and to ensure that the implementation of NEP 2020 does not lead to long-term harm or skepticism among students and parents.

Further, the union appealed to the university to revise the re-evaluation fee structure and allow students to verify their answer scripts before the commencement of re-evaluation examinations. This, it stated, would bring greater transparency and accountability to the examination process.

The ANCSU also pointed out that the “drastically reduced” pass percentage has caused anxiety and discouragement among students, affecting their aspirations for higher education. It cited instances where students previously named in toppers’ lists were later removed due to delayed mark updates, calling it a reflection of the university’s “negligence and lack of responsibility.”

Expressing hope for corrective measures, ANCSU urged the university to assess the current situation with sincerity and demonstrate its commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive educational environment.
