300 students of GNDU face uncertainty over placements
About 300 students, who recently graduated from the GNDU, are facing uncertainty with regard to their future as several companies that offered them jobs are finding it difficult to evolve criteria for hiring in the absence of “comprehensive evidence” of their academic performance.
The Guru Nanak Dev University in an official release on Sunday said the students are facing a peculiar situation regarding their job offers due to non-availability of detailed marks cards of their intermediate semesters as they were promoted last year on the basis of cumulative average of their grades of previous semesters. This was done according to directions of the government following the COVID-19 pandemic, the university said.
A GNDU official said some of the companies offering jobs are finding it difficult to evolve criteria to hire prospective employees in the “absence of concrete and comprehensive evidence” of their academic performance in the form of detailed marks cards of all the semesters. Reservations have also been expressed over the conduct of non-proctored e-mail based examinations, the official further said.
