Management students agitate against
off-syllabus questions
Post Report
KATHMANDU, Nov 17 - Management students of Tribhuvan
University, Kirtipur picketed the controller’s office demanding full marks for
questions, which they claimed were out of syllabus."Three Questions are out of
syllabus," said Deepak Raj Baral, a second-year postgraduate Tax Laws and Planning
student. "We have filed an application at the controllers office stating we want full
marks for those questions," Baral added. "We are ready to sit for re-examination
too."
In their application, the students who picketed the
Controller’s Office for two hours, have also demanded for action against the board
members who designed the papers.According to the students, the questions were from the
already scrapped syllabus. "The questions carried are from the Taxation Act 2031
which has now been replaced by Taxation Act 2058," Baral said. The questions carried
a total of twenty- four marks.
When asked about the allegation of the students, Badri
Narayan Shrestha, controller, who is currently out of the valley, said the office would
look upon the matter and decide the most viable solution. "If there is a mistake as
alleged, then the mistake will have to be corrected," Shrestha said. "But first,
it is necessary to assess the report of the board assigned to set the questions."
However, Dr. Shaligram Koirala, lecturer on Tax Laws and
Planning, said none
of the aforementioned questions are out of syllabus.
"The fact is the students didn’t understand the question," he said.
"The headings have not been explicitly mentioned but the papers carry nothing that is
not inscribed in the current provision."
