Suresh, a student of Agnihotri College Wardha, was baffled to know that he had failed in pharmaceutical chemistry II by just four marks.

The revaluation result was announced on July 19 and his marks increased to 49 (33 in theory + 16 in practicals).The last date of registration for BPharm course was July 16. The admissions are governed by State Common Entrance Test (CET) cell, Mumbai, through DTE. All we want is that my son should be allowed to apply for degree course,” he said.Regional DTE officials didn’t answer to TOI’s calls made in this regard.Suresh said in case the DTE refuses to consider his case, he may have to wait until the next year to apply for the course.

Nagpur: A final-year diploma of pharmacy (DPharm) student may lose an academic year as the directorate of technical education (DTE) has closed admissions to bachelor of pharmacy (BPharm) before declaration of his revaluation results.After revaluation, Suresh Shrirangwar’s marks have increased by 13 in final-year pharmaceutical chemistry II paper and he now has an overall score of 70%.The results of DPharm, conducted by Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education (MSBTE), were announced on June 6. Suresh, a student of Agnihotri College Wardha, was baffled to know that he had failed in pharmaceutical chemistry II by just four marks. When the student found that he had scored just 20 out of 100 in theory, he immediately decided to challenge the evaluation. The revaluation result was announced on July 19 and his marks increased to 49 (33 in theory + 16 in practicals).The last date of registration for BPharm course was July 16. The admissions are governed by State Common Entrance Test (CET) cell, Mumbai, through DTE. As the admissions are done online, Suresh couldn’t upload his documents as there was no option for provisional admission, he said.Days before the registration cut off, Suresh visited the regional DTE office at Sadar and requested officials to either allow him to apply or extend the deadline. “The officials asked me to submit an application. However, I was shocked to know the admissions had closed on July 16 and my appeals have gone unheard,” he said.On Friday, Suresh sent an e-mail to DTE requesting it to reconsider his case.His father said it was unfair on the part of authorities to deny his son a chance to apply. “Already, injustice was done when he was awarded low marks. Now, they are not permitting him to apply even when he is at no fault,” the father said.He alleged that they have learnt that a non-expert had evaluated Suresh’s answerbook. “The examiner was from a different subject. All we want is that my son should be allowed to apply for degree course,” he said.Regional DTE officials didn’t answer to TOI’s calls made in this regard.Suresh said in case the DTE refuses to consider his case, he may have to wait until the next year to apply for the course.
