NEHU accused of tampering with admission list of Law dept

TURA, Nov 1: Alleging anomalies in the selection of candidates for admission into the Law Department by the North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU), the Garo Students’ Union (GSU), Central Executive Committee, in Tura on Tuesday moved the Pro-Vice Chancellor for immediate intervention.
In its memorandum, the GSU claimed that the Department of Law on October 25 declared the names of candidates selected for admission, according to merit under various categories. However, within two hours of its declaration, the list of the candidates was allegedly changed.
“The department has tampered with the list to exclude economically backward students to give an opportunity to other students who were in the waiting list,” GSU Assistant General Secretary Salman D Sangma said.
The GSU also requested the concerned authority to look into the matter and review the list of successful candidates for admission.
