Declare revaluation results: ABVP

Demanding declaration of revaluation results, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) submitted a memorandum to the Controller of Education, HPU. The campus president of HPU, Vishal, said the students who had got revaluation done after the declaration of the RUSA results in October 2019 were still awaiting their results. He said almost 50 per cent students had failed in one or the other subjects and had gone in for revaluation but the results were yet to be declared. He said the HPU administration had been committing irregularities in the implementation of RUSA, which was affecting the interest of the student community. He threatened that in case the authorities failed to declare the results within next 10 days, the ABVP would launch a statewide agitation.
