IIMS students go on rampage
Indore, July 20: Peeved over denial of justice and `setback ‘to their career, a large number of students of the Indore Institute of Medical Science here on Wednesday vandalized the institute in protest against what they described as a gross neglect of their career by The management institute.
On Thursday, a large number students pursuing diploma in Medical Lab Technician course, the main institute had approached to hold their examination for the above-mentioned course. When these students failed to get an apt reply from the management institute, and they went berserk institute damaged thereby giving a property to vent their ire.
According to report, a total of 15 students had been admitted to Diploma in Medical Lab Technician course (a two-year diploma course) at Indore Institute of Medical Science Bhandari paramedical institute of the Hospital & Research Centre. Thereafter, the institute gave admission to 30 students in 2004 and 32 students in 2005 in the same race notwithstanding the fact it had not been given affiliation to run this race. The institute dilly-delayed the examination of these students on the plea that university Indore Ahilya Devi was not taking interest in the examination.
It was only in the year 2006 when the DAVV administration gave permission to the institute to run this diploma course that the institute organized in examination of these students in the same year. Out of 77 students who appeared in the examination only 15 students passed and the remaining students were declared fail. Since then, these students were running from pillar to post for their re-examination but to no avail.
Another anomaly which has come to the fore that permission as against 20 for admission of students in the course as given by the DAVV, the institute more students admitted to the course.
Institute Principal, KS Sharad when contacted attributed to delay in examination Ahilya Devi university management which did not give permission to hold examination despite repeated reminders.
DAVV registrar, RD Musalgaonkar on the other hand when contacted, rejected the contention of the institute saying how the university can give permission for the examination when the course being run by the institute had not been given by the university affiliation. He said the university had given affiliation to the course only in the year 2006., While the institute had started this course in the year 2003 which was totally wrong.
