Many blame goof-up on change in composition of body
In what gives ammunition to the detractors of Visva-Bharati Vice-Chancellor Bidyut Chakrabarty and is an embarrassment for the university, the merit list for admission to M.Ed course showed four aspirants scoring far more than the maximum 100 marks.
While the university did not make any comment and its PRO did not answer calls, it withdrew the list from its website, uploaded on September 27, after the errors got noticed and provided fodder to the local media and those employees who are at loggerheads with the V-C.
The list showed as many as four aspirants scoring way above the allotted 100 marks (60 for a written test and 40 for performance in previous exams). One of them was given 200 marks, and three others got 198, 196 and 151 respectively.
