Mark list row at Maharaja’s College turns murkier
The HinduAuthorities of Maharaja’s College, Ernakulam, on Wednesday changed their position twice on the claim made by P.M. Arsho, State Secretary of the Students’ Federation of India, that he had not applied for the third-semester examination of the 2021-22 batch of the postgraduate programme in Archaeology and Material Cultural Studies. The mark list controversy erupted on Tuesday after the Kerala Students’ Union alleged that the mark list had mentioned that Mr. Arsho had passed the exam, though the total cumulative point was mentioned as ‘zero’. In a social media post on Wednesday, Mr. Arsho stated that the mark list that came in the public domain on Tuesday was related to the 2021 batch and he belonged to the 2020 batch. The college authorities said in the morning that his name had figured on the mark list as he took re-admission in the 2021-22 batch after being removed from the roll in the third semester for lack of attendance.
