Patna, Jan. 5: The employees at Patna Training College have called for more security following continuous agitations by students and student bodies.

The employees of Patna Training College have threatened that they would stop the admission of students tomorrow unless there is adequate security arrangement on the college campus.

Even today, many students’ bodies created a ruckus at Patna Training College over the provision of sports, art and culture quota in BEd courses this year.

The admission for BEd and MEd courses have started on January 1, but just one student has been able to take admission at Patna Training College. The last date for taking admission is January 10.

Various students’ bodies are agitating over the gross irregularities at this year’s admission process and demanding for the provision of sports, art and culture quota in BEd course.

Rakesh Kumar, a student leader of JD (U) said: “On one hand various universities in the state in its effort to promote sports and art and culture are providing reservation to students who have excelled in sports, and on the other hand Patna University is going the other way by removing the quota.”

The students have alleged that this year’s BEd results provided to students doesn’t bear the signature of vice-chancellor Shyam Lal, pro vice-chancellor S.I. Ahson and examination controller D.N. Sharma, which is against the existing rules and guidelines of the university.

The results only bears the signature of the dean of education, Sudipto Adhikari who he is neither a member of the syndicate nor does he have the authority to sign in results published by the university.

A senior teacher of Patna Training College said: “The results issued by the university in the long run will invite unwanted trouble for students as many institutions will question their authenticity.”

The teacher also alleged that the university has not taken enough steps to tackle the problem. “Usually, only four to five students come to agitate. This can easily be controlled if college authorities take prompt action,” he said.
