Such type of incidents either happens in Kanpur university or lucknow university. The administration in these universities is so lethargy & undeservising (for that post) that they can't handle even a single state level exam. The recent drama in BEd exam minimum tells the story like this only.
The 2009-10 BEd exam is going to be conducted by Lucknow University this time. The university 1st allowed all the students having more than 45% marks in graduation to sit in the exam. Around more than 5 lakhs students from the state filled the forms. But now barely 1 week ago of exam, the university took a U Turn and announced that only students having more than 50%marks can sit in exam. A great tussle is going on b/w university authority, state govt & NCTI.
The University's authority can be so ameture and so negligible to conduct an exam, the recent example is one of the biggest. Now the UP Govt and the university administration is playing football with the so serious issue.
Bythway the university administration has once again made a mockery of such an old & famous varsity by shwoing its black face. It will be no surprise for me that someone from around 1.75 lakhs student to go to court & the whole exam will be hanged for next 1-2 years. Then the future of around 5 lakhs students will be hanging for so many years from such a mistake of the university administration. Also the left students deserve for the compensation from university administration for playing with their future and sentiments. The VC should resign by taking the moral responsibility.

TIMES OF INDIA WROTE THIS NEWS IN THIS WAY, WORTH TO READ:
To be a teacher in UP, barely make pass grade
The chaos prevailing in the teachers' education system of the country just got worse with the country's largest state Uttar Pradesh openly violating eligibility norms for teachers' education set by the national regulatory body.
On May 5, over 6.92 lakh students will appear for a joint entrance examination (JEE) for admission to about 1 lakh seats of the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) programme available in the state's 730 teacher training colleges. The eligibility condition for this hugely popular course has been fixed by the National Council for Teachers Education (NCTE) as a graduate degree with at least 50% marks. But acting under orders from the state government, the eligibility has been reduced to 45% in UP.
Educationists are describing this move as a blow to teachers' quality standards while the applicants are worried that the examination or their degree may be derecognized later by judicial intervention, as happened in Bengal.
Professor Akhilesh Choubey of Lucknow University, who is in charge of conducting the exam, told TOI, "We are acting as per a directive received from the state government to fix the minimum eligibility at 45%."
In the current atmosphere of bonhomie between BSP supremo Mayawati and the Centre, as seen in her support to the UPA on the crucial cut motions, it remains to be seen if Delhi will take the risk of putting its foot down on this.
The minimum eligibility condition is laid down in section 3(2) of the norms issued by the NCTE on August 31, 2009. Prof U C Vasistha, member of the North Zone Regional Committee of the NCTE, under which UP is covered, was himself ignorant of the latest norms. "I think it is 45%," he told TOI.
State governments, under pressure from the new Right to Education law, are scrambling to boost the number of teachers and the present move appears to be a direct result of this. On the other hand, the Centre, though aware of this need, is itself under pressure to maintain the quality standards of teachers.
Jitendra Sharma, senior lecturer in a teacher education college in Jodhpur, said: "This is an acid test for the NCTE. If they do not put a stop to this, every state will start following its own norms."
For maintaining uniform standards, an amendment bill was introduced in the Rajya Sabha on March 12 this year by Union HRD minister Kapil Sibal empowering the NCTE to fix the qualification levels of teachers in all schools. This became necessary after the Allahabad High Court had held that the NCTE does not have such powers under the existing act of 1993.
Earlier, the Calcutta High Court had directed that recognition could not be granted to colleges or courses in violation of NCTE norms. This resulted in 31,000 students losing their diplomas.
This incident of violation of NCTE norms is the latest in a series of continuing violations across several states.
These include non-payment of UGC pay scales to teachers in teacher education colleges in Rajasthan, refusal to admit commerce graduates in B.Ed courses in Delhi, Gujarat and other states and largescale violation of physical infrastructure and academic norms by colleges.
