Jammu: In a reply to Right to Information Query the authorities of Jammu university have admitted that over 32,000 passouts including graduate and post-graduate candidate are waiting to get their degree from Jammu University which includes students from 2006 to 2011 batch. The varsity has not issued graduate and post-graduate Degrees to a total of 32,120 passout students from different streams the list includes 26,564 graduates and 5,556 post-graduate students who have not received their degrees since 2006-07 (Undergraduate courses) and 2010-11(PG Courses).
The information has been provided by the Public Information Officer of the Jammu University vide his office letter no. PIO/JU/13/7169 dated 29/May/2013 in response to application of RTI Activists Raman Sharma. While appreciating the Public Information Officer of the university for providing all the information, Raman said the reply is quite shocking. It is very unfortunate that the university which owns ISO status can be so careless and tardy in its action that it has not issued degrees to 33,000 successful candidates for last 5 to 6 years. Today the institutions are awarding online degrees to the students but here in our state the people at the helm of affairs still lagging behind. As per the reply total number of successful candidates who have not been issued their graduation degrees from session 2006-07 onwards are 26,564 and the total strength of post-graduate candidates waiting for degrees from session 2009 onwards are 2,256 of session 2010 and 3,300 of session 2011, the RTI reply states. The reply also states that over 1100 students only from Women College Parade, Jammu have not been issued their Degrees who passed out in the year 2009. There are many other students who have not been issued their degrees by the JU.
When the matter of pending degrees was brought to the notice of the Vice Chancellor’s Secretariat, the senior officers there immediately issued orders to the concerned department to clear the backlog without any further delay. In the meanwhile , the RTI applicant has said he has also apprised the governor about the issues and has sought a direction in this regard . ‘A similar RTI application was also filed with the Kashmir University on 04/April/2013 through Jammu and Kashmir State Information Commission but till no intimation in this regard has been received from there, Raman informed.
