A senior officer in the university saod on condition of anonymity that though the exams were over due, however the decision had to be taken owing to the ticket reservations of the non locals who are reluctant to sit in the exams during cold season. “The private colleges have created mockery of the BEd examination. If this is what we were striving to privatize education sector for, then I am sorry to say, we would be ruining the future of our generations to come,” said the officer. The students said that they were mulling to boycott the examinations, however, they added that the decision would be taken after taking majority of the students across the valley into confidence.[JAVID HASHMI BHAT MIRPORA CHAKOORA PULWAMA]
