Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has sought Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik’s intervention for issuing provisional final semester results or mark sheets to undergraduate students in the state.
According to the reports, in a letter to Patnaik, Mr Pradhan stated that the students who had appeared for the sixth-semester examinations through online mode in the first and second week of August had not been provided with mark sheets and the results were expected to be declared later in September.
The letter further added that despite repeated pleas to colleges and state education authorities, these students have not been provided with professional mark sheets. I am also in receipt of multiple grievances in this regard from the student community in Odisha. He also underlined that the late publication of provisional results or non-issuance of mark sheets were causing great suffering and jeopardising the career prospects of the students.
He also pointed out that the students were required to submit their final or provisional mark-sheets for seeking post-graduate admission to various state and central universities outside Odisha where the procedure had already commenced.
