NAGPUR: Even as the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing’s (C-DAC) administration is trying its best to convince the aspirants for appearing in re-examination (Computerized Common Admission Test (C-CAT)) for its postgraduate diploma course, the latter have refused to budge.
According to them, C-DAC has already conducted C-CAT four times — on January 10, 17, 31 and February 3. The Maharashtra Students Welfare Association (MSWA) and National Students Organizations (NSU) have already extended their support to agitators and may approach the high court soon.
Aspirants said it’s not possible for them to study again and again for the same exam. Many of them have already quit their jobs while some of them have taken loans for completing the diploma course. They said they secured the merit ranks after multiple attempts and don’t want to take the risk of appearing in the re-exam now and losing their seats for the prestigious course.
“We’ve been studying hard since December for this exam and secured merit ranks in the top 100. Now they’re asking us to appear again in offline exam. They’ve already held this exam four times. What’s the guarantee that they will not cancel offline papers?” an upset student said.
Another student who secured a top-25 rank said she didn’t want to re-appear in the offline exams after studying hard and getting to the top. “There’s no guarantee that I will be able to secure the same rank again and may not get a good branch. We had suggested the C-DAC administration hold exams of only those who were complaining about connectivity and technical issues. There’s no point in harassing over 12,000 candidates who have already appeared in the entrance exam,” she said.
Many candidates have left their plum jobs to join the course after C-DAC declared results and published merit lists. “I have been preparing for the entrance exam since 2018, but only this year have I been able to secure a merit rank. I left my Rs6 lakh per annum job to complete this PG diploma course. Now, my company wouldn’t take me back. If I failed to get a decent score in the offline exam, my career would be ruined,” an aggrieved student said.
Another student, who had secured a loan for completing the diploma course apprehends that if he couldn’t clear the offline exam, he would be unnecessarily burdened with the charges for returning the loan, like processing fees.
C-DAC to reconduct PG entrance on March 13, 14
The C-DAC has declared its schedule for conducting C-CAT re-exam on March 13 and 14, as reported by TOI on Wednesday. The deadline for application is February 24 and admission cards can be downloaded between March 6 and 12. The results will be announced on March 26 and first counselling will commence on the same day and continue till March 30. The declaration of the first round of seat allocation will be made on March 31. Classroom teaching will begin from April 20 and the course will conclude on September 30.
