AGARTALA, July 19 (TIWN): Former Congressman turncoat cum now BJP’s lameduck Minister Ratan Lal’s unpopular moves only causing harm to BJP Govt. Tripura’s Education Minister Ratanlal Nath much hyped Quality Education’s reality are being exposed everyday as statewide Education sectors are undergoing various shocks due to strange moves of the Dept. After College admission delay issue led various protests statewide, now another strange problem has been created for the science background students as a huge numbers of science students have been forced to take admission in Arts. Students have gathered before Minister Ratanlal Nath’s home seeking his response, even though no clarification from the Minister was received, neither he came before media and the students. Nath did not meet any student, rather police were called to push them back to homes. However, the afraid students even though didn’t want to talk to media, few of them in short has briefed media about their suffering.Today, instead of meeting, Ratanlal Nath called police force before his home and they pushed the students back to home.

One student said, “At first we filled up application to get admission but in the first and second lists our names didn’t come. Then in 3rd and 4th list also our names didn’t come. We went to Education department then and the department again gave us forms. After 2 days, lists again declared and we got our names in B.Sc but when we went to the College instead of science we found our names are in arts. The College said to us right now there is no vacancy in the College and asked us to take admission in BA. Later if vacancy is given, we will be given admission”.

The students asked, how they can manage with arts after passing with science background ?

First of all, they want to study in science not in Arts. Then if they are forced to read in Arts, then it will be very tough for them, as the subjects are new to them.

The students said, even after in the form it was written B.Sc they were not given seat in B.Sc but generally for pass course science background students have right to study in science.

It also reveals College’s attitude to Arts stream as if “anybody” can study in Arts but “everybody” can not study in science.

Earlier, centering admission delays various protests were staged. Tripura Education dept came in controversy with College education as per semester it has added 100 rupees fee for each student, whereas before election, it was promised girl-education will be free.
