CU Exam Schedule Fuels TMCP Foundation Day Controversy
The student group TMCP is upset because the university scheduled exams on the same day as their foundation day.
The students think the university did this on purpose to stop them from going to their event, and they blame the central government.
The university's head says this isn't true and the exam dates were set in advance.
Calcutta University scheduled undergraduate exams on August 28, the TMCP foundation day.
TMCP alleged a conspiracy, claiming the exam schedule aimed to prevent student participation in the foundation day program.
TMCP state president Trinankur Bhattacharjee accused the central government of orchestrating the situation.
TMCP wrote a letter to the VC demanding rescheduling of the exams.
The VC, Shanta Dutta, dismissed the allegations, stating exam dates were announced in advance and not based on political events.
