The lackadaisical functioning of the officials of Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology (GJUST) has cost seven students dearly as two ended up losing their jobs, while five could not participate in a job drive.

The students completed their MTech (Printing Technology) in May 2021, but citing the pandemic, the university kept on delaying the declaration of results.

While the students have been running from pillar to post to get their results and procure documents for the past several months, the officials concerned are giving them a harrowing time with excuses to delay passing their degrees to them.

Abhiskek Gautam, a resident of Delhi, said he had lost his job in a private firm in Bangalore as he could not submit his MTech degree to the firm after probation period.

Another student, Anil Bishnoi, also secured a job in a firm at Rudrapur in an off-campus placement six months ago. Since he could not submit his MTech documents on the completion of his probation period, he was asked to leave.

“Now, they say that the result will be declared after the impending election of the employees’ union. The university is least bothered if the jobs of its students are at risk,” said another student.

The Controller of Examination, Yash Paul Singhal, could not be contacted despite repeated calls.
