INDIRA Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKV) has agreed to provide free re-evaluation of answer sheets for affected students and increase the limit for re-evaluation from two to four subjects following complaints of alleged irregularities in recently declared examination results. An Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) delegation submitted a memorandum to the university’s Vice-Chancellor on Monday, seeking immediate action to address students’ grievances. The university also agreed to allow students, accompanied by their parents, to visit the campus and inspect their evaluated answer sheets. Formal orders have been issued regarding these decisions, according to the information provided by ABVP. The controversy intensified after reports emerged that 100 out of 107 students at Kanker Agricultural College had failed their examinations. Students from other agricultural colleges have also raised concerns, alleging that some were marked absent despite appearing for examinations, while others were declared unsuccessful or placed in ATKT (backlog) status in six to eight subjects.

 

ABVP demanded immediate verification of examination records and correction of results wherever errors were found. Its memorandum also sought free re-evaluation, photocopies of evaluated answer sheets, an impartial inquiry into the alleged irregularities and appropriate action against examiners or evaluation centres found responsible for negligence. The delegation further urged the university to expand the number of subjects eligible for re-evaluation, arguing that students should not suffer academically because of possible errors in the evaluation process. ABVP Chhattisgarh State Joint Secretary Pratham Rao Phutane said serious concerns had emerged over the examination results. He recalled that the organisation had recently protested after 100 of the 107 students at Kanker Agricultural College were declared unsuccessful. Following the protest, students from several agricultural colleges across the state approached ABVP with similar complaints, prompting the delegation to meet the Vice-Chancellor. Those present during the submission of the memorandum included ABVP IGKV unit president and district coordinator Shivam Yogi, along with activists Prem Sahu, Rahul Sharma, Siddharth Singh and Mansi Yadav.
