FREEDOM OF
EXPRESSION
"The difference between my re-
sult score that came out through
the DU site and the marksheet
score was 10 marks, and I was
made to wait for a week before
i finally found out my real score.
Even for that I had to go all the
way to south campus, where it
took them an hour to give me my
real marksheet."-Ayushi Sharma, KNC 3rd
English
"Students in our class were
shocked when they saw that
eight marks were deducted in
a strange act of moderation
for everybody in the class? We
would like to know what is the
basis of such moderation?"-
Aprameya Rao, Eng. Hons, Sri
Venkateswara College
"I was the only student in my batch to have opted for the Maths optional paper in my second year. I was stunned to see the optional column of my mark sheet filled with the word Pol. Sc. Further, the marks column said "absent". In totality, my aggregate has been squarely slashed down by 50 marks, all for a Maths paper which I appeared for," Sahil Ludhani, 3rd Year, B.Com, SRCC
"I can only say that we spend
1/3 of the year studying for
the most farcical exam in the
Indian Education System,
1/3 of it waiting for a decent
result, and 1/3 waiting for a
reevaluated result. At least DU
makes sure the youth have
something to do all year." -
Aditi Subramaniam, LSR
3rd Year, English Hons.
"Upon getting our marksheets,
we realised that 4 marks out of
a total of 25 had been deducted
from our IA marks in one of the
main papers, Principles of Eco-
nomics. Further enquiry revealed
that the Moderation Committee
of the University had done this
for several other colleges too."-
Priyanka Priyadarshini, Eco
Hons. 2nd Year, SRCC

BHEJA FRy LAW OF
THE WEEK
I was walking home in the rain at night and was passing this dense cover of leaves, so I held my umbrella infront of me and walked. Suddenly, I heard a thud followed by a yelp, I lowered my umbrella and realized that I had just hit an old man square in the face with it! A very long "Aage dekhkey chala karo" lecture ensued in the middle of the road. Quite embarrassing.
