    1. This is not new for the university. The high headedness of the University officials, particularly the clerks had caused problems for everyone. The results are never announced on time. People keep clearing exams for PSUs or other relevant organizations but due to non availability of result they are kicked out of interview rooms just because of the non declaration of results on time. The fine is too less. There should be criminal case registered for destroying careers of many people. I know so many of them.
