"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.
