Students bring dental college to a halt
BIRGUNJ: The students of MB Kedia Dental College hospital, have been protesting for the fifth day in a row. The agitating students have complained of no course completion on time. All the services, academic and else, have come to a halt since the first day of the protest.
Students in the second and third years of Bachelor of Dental Science (BDS) boycotted their internal assesment for courses on anaesthesia was incomplete. The Student Council (SC) has demanded an internal assesment only after course completion from an expert on the subject matter.
Meanwhile, the management and the SC could not meet today for a breakthrough. The management committee had urged the students to form a talks committee while the students demanded that they talk in group.
The agitating students have accused the administration for playing with their future saying that exams without course-completion was senseless.
The students, who have been asked to leave the college hostel, have put forth a 21-point demand which includes resignation of the principal as the most imperative one.
However, Binod Gupta, coordinator of the college said, "We didn't include anaesthesia in the assesment but the students started agitation without any reason."
The administration further claimed that extra classes have been fixed during Dashain vacation. Meanwhile, Tribhuvan University has scheduled the final exams of BDS for December.
