BPUT students distraught at exam cancellation

-

Rourkela: Students who were all set to write their Control System Engineering (CSE) papers as part of the ongoing fifth semester examination of the B.Tech course of Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT) today are a distraught lot.

The cancellation of the CSE paper at the last minute following the leak of the question paper last night has left the students fuming. “All the hard work that I had put in and the sleepless nights that I had spend in preparing for the paper have now gone down the drain. I will have to do it all over again,” said a student who did not want to be named.

Another student who also requested anonymity squarely blamed the Director of Examination and others responsible for the conduct of examinations for the mess. Angry parents and guardians are blaming BPUT authorities, including the vice chancellor, and the state government for their lackadaisical attitude towards the conduct of examinations which had put the careers of their wards in jeopardy. “Thousands of students suffer every year due to the devil-may-care attitude of the authorities,” said one of them.

Meanwhile, BPUT Registrar Prof. B L Aggarwal has promised a thorough inquiry into the leakage of the question paper. “We have formed an inquiry committee of our own to probe the leak. A meeting in this regard would soon be held in Bhubaneswar. Besides, we will also have the whole thing inquired by the police or the CBI as the case may be,” he said.

Admitting that the leak of question paper was a ‘shame’ for the university, Prof. Aggarwal said it was being investigated where exactly the leak had occurred. “The culprits would be caught soon,” he said.

The Registrar said he came to know about the leak at about 11.30 pm last night.

BPUT sources said the Principals/Directors of all constituent and affiliated colleges have been requested not to open the sealed question packets and return them back to the BPUT camp office Gandamunda, Bhubaneswar. The revised date of examination shall be notified later, they said.

Rourkela: A sophisticated Automated Blood Cell Separator was installed at the RSP-run Ispat General Hospital (IGH) here yesterday. The state-of-the-art Blood Cell Separator is a Mobile Collection System and operates on the highly updated apheresis technology. It is a highly mobile, compact and lightweight total apheresis system and technically advanced. Once the operator initiates the MCS+ procedure, this sophisticated separator automatically removes whole blood from a donor, separates the blood into components (red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets), retains one or more of the components, and returns the reminder of the blood to the donor. It takes comparatively less time (60 to 65 minutes) for the programme to run. The components obtained are transfused or used to prepare blood products for administration. It is both user and donor friendly and helpful to the patients where there is absolute indication of platelet transfusion. Inaugurating the
