More than 50,000 students of various undergraduate and postgraduate courses being run by around 130 private, government and aided degree, and education colleges in Rewari and Mahendragarh districts have not yet received their detailed marks certificates (DMCs) ever since their institutions got affiliated with Indira Gandhi University (IGU), Meerpur, in 2017.

This came to the fore recently when staffers and students approached Vice Chancellor Prof SK Gakhar to protest inordinate delay in issuance of DMCs. The V-C upon inquiry found DMCs had not been printed for the past three years over some issue with a private printing agency, said sources.

They sources maintained though the university had begun in-house printing of DMCs after procuring a printer, over 14,000 DMCs for academic session 2017-18 and around 36,000 DMCs for 2018-19 are yet to be printed.

“We have made several requests to the IGU authorities for issuance of DMCs but each time they say printing is on and will be issued once the job is finished. Students too have been making rounds of the university to get their DMCs,” said a college principal. The V-C admitted over 50,000 students of different colleges had been awaiting DMCs for the past three years.

“I joined the university last year and was surprised to learn that DMCs had not been printed for the past three years. I got a defective printer, with capacity to print around 500 DMCs daily, fixed and we started printing DMCs of university teaching department students. Thousands of such DMCs have already been printed and issued in the past couple of months,” said the V-C.

Gakhar maintained the university had recently bought another printer with capacity to print 5,000 DMCs daily. The work is on and it is expected that all DMCs will be printed in the next 10 days, he claimed.
