‘When I approached the university officers concerned with the documents establishing my appearance for the exam, they demaned a letter from the centre incharge with his seal. I produced the letter also, but they made me hand it over without giving any receipt and asked me to pay Rs 1,100 to reapper for the exam,’ added Gayatri.
She is not the only one: around 1,500 such students are wandering in the premises of School of Open Learning of Delhi University to prove their attendence but of no use.
‘As per university records at my centre, she (Gayatri) was present during her examination on the same day,’ certified the principal of Government Boys Seconday School in Welcome, east Delhi, with his seal. The principal also provided the the attendence sheet of the day.
