Around half of the first year students at DU's law faculty have failed in at least one subject.
For the second year in a row, around half of the first year students at Delhi University's law faculty have failed in at least one subject, leading to protests by them.
The students alleged there was some problem with the results that were declared yesterday as some of them have been marked absent even though they appeared in the exam, while the scores of a few others were revised later.
The Faculty of Law has three centres - Law Centre I (LCI), Campus Law Centre (CLC) and Law Centre II (LC II). CLC usually admits the highest scorers of the entrance test.
A total of 882 students out of 1944 students have failed in at least one subject in the semester examination.
"There seems to be some goof up in the result because I have failed in a subject I was very confident of scoring well. I will apply for rechecking," said Ruchika Bhatt, a first year student.
Another student Ritika Thakur said, "I am surprised to see the results, there has been some problem for sure, I will get my paper re-evaluated and find out what went wrong".
Faculty of Law Dean, SC Raina denied any mistakes and maintained that the students' performance has been evaluated accurately.
"The papers have been checked properly and moderation done following proper methods...what can go wrong? What can the faculty do if students don't study and write their exams well," Mr Raina said.
Meanwhile, law faculty aspirants are agitated over delay in admission counselling as well as the Bar Council of India's recommendation to reduce the colleges' seat intake by scrapping evening classes.
