60 DU law students fail exam for non-attendance but claim they were there

60 Delhi University law students allege that they had attended an evidence law exam for which they had been marked as absent and having failed according to the mark sheets released recently.

The Hindustan Times reported:

“We had given the examination and now have been marked absent in the Evidence Law paper. When we have taken the examination how can we be marked absent. Now the examination department is asking us to bring the attendance sheet, how will students access it?” questioned Tarun Narang, one of the Campus Law Centre students who was marked failed.

“Now the examination department is also asking us to wait for another 15 days and said they would look into the matter. This is gross negligence of the department and harassment to the students,” said another student.

Kian and Prachi I discovered something very interesting you may want to cover for Mint:

1. No Indian law school is in the world's top 200: http://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings-articles/university-subject-rankings/top-law-schools-2015

2. The former HRD minister (MoS) met with the ranking agencies and found out why Indian universities fare poorly in world rankings. See this video from 7:28

Nothing new. The Campus has been giving first division to students who failed to sit for a certain exam, but failing those who have written excellent papers.
