The students of Vallabh Government College appearing for BSc-1 examination affiliated to Himachal Pradesh University were in a great shock when they found a lot of spelling mistakes, missing series of questions and wrong question in the question paper of zoology (invertebrate -2).
This is first time that HP University has conducted examination under the newly introduced Rashtriya Ucchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) which is a choice based credit system (CBCS) of education.
The question paper had a number of mistakes like setting wrong question, spelling mistakes, missing sections in the question papers and even the name of a subject was mentioned wrong in the roll number slip. This goof up in the question paper by the examination branch of the university may straightaway result in students losing some valuable marks. Commenting on RUSA, President of Student Central Association (SCA), Mandi College, Narender Kumar said that official document of RUSA was based on the supposedly success of education programmes such as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) but various surveys conducted by the centre and the sate have found that these programmes had very low learning abilities. He further added that programmes like RUSA need huge structural changes in the education set up since it had been implemented in a hurry.
