4 students write ‘Jai Shri Ram’ in exam, get 50%

Four DPharma (Diploma in Pharmacy) students of UP’s state-run Veer Bahadur Singh Purvanchal (VBSP) University in Jaunpur who wrote nothing but “Jai Shri Ram” and the names of some star cricketers in a recent exam were awarded 50% marks.
The bizarre disclosure through RTI prompted a probe and re-examination that led to the four getting zero marks. The probe panel has recommended that two teachers who gave the 50% marks be sacked. That will follow once governor Anandiben Patel approves the action as chancellor, a senior official of the varsity said.
Divyanshu Singh, a former student of the university, filed the RTI plea questioning the marks of four and complained to the governor, triggering the probe.
