Malpractices at Malakand University - Letter

I am making a plea to the Governor NWFP, Vice-Chancellor, Controller of the Malakand University and also request the Chairman of Higher Education Commission regarding the blunders committed by the University of Malakand in terms of conducting examination.
Quite oblivious of its sacred duties, the examination block of the university wreak havoc on the future of the students. Chitral, being a far-flung district of NWFP, unfortunately comes under the jurisdiction of the Malakand University and the students of Chitral have become a victim of the highhandedness of the unscrupulous officials of the university. The examination days of the academic years are like a harvesting season for the unconscientious examiners who haunt the examination halls again and again and reap the ignomious harvest in the form of tours, treats and gifts at the cost of the poor and helpless students, who cannot afford the consequences of the displeasure of the examiners. As a
result cheating and unfair means not only affects the academic performance of the laborious and intelligent students but also becomes part and parcel of the future generation. Another problem faced by the unfortunate students is at the time of declaration of the examination results. DMCs and certificates take months to reach the students and most of the students have to make an arduous journey to the University and the worst thing the students encounter is that instead of the marks of the subjects the students have taken examination, some other subjects are mentioned in the detailed marked certificates for example instead of political science computer is written and marked. Another carelessness of the university towards Chitrali students is that after applying for degrees they cannot get them even after three years. In the previous examination some students got roll numbers in which the allocated examination halls of other district had been mentioned.
The helpless students manage to reach the office of the University and unwillingly will have to grease the palms of some of the dishonest personnel of the office to get their problems solved. I hope that the authorities will take notice of these malpractices and will constitute a fair examination system by appointing honest and Godfearing examiners and will rectify the marking and issuing of the certificates and degrees.
